Input interpretation

Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaHCO_3 + HOC(COOH)(CH_2COOH)_2 ⟶ H_2O + CO_2 + C_6H_5Na_3O_7 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaHCO_3 + c_2 HOC(COOH)(CH_2COOH)_2 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 CO_2 + c_5 C_6H_5Na_3O_7 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for C, H, Na and O: C: | c_1 + 6 c_2 = c_4 + 6 c_5 H: | c_1 + 8 c_2 = 2 c_3 + 5 c_5 Na: | c_1 = 3 c_5 O: | 3 c_1 + 7 c_2 = c_3 + 2 c_4 + 7 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 3 NaHCO_3 + HOC(COOH)(CH_2COOH)_2 ⟶ 3 H_2O + 3 CO_2 + C_6H_5Na_3O_7
