Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NH_3 + O_3 ⟶ H_2O + O_2 + HNO_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NH_3 + c_2 O_3 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 O_2 + c_5 HNO_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N and O: H: | 3 c_1 = 2 c_3 + c_5 N: | c_1 = c_5 O: | 3 c_2 = c_3 + 2 c_4 + 2 c_5 Since the coefficients are relative quantities and underdetermined, choose a coefficient to set arbitrarily. To keep the coefficients small, the arbitrary value is ordinarily one. For instance, set c_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = (3 c_2)/2 - 3/2 c_5 = 1 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_2 = 3 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | NH_3 + 3 O_3 ⟶ H_2O + 3 O_2 + HNO_2
