Input interpretation
nitric acid + manganese dioxide + iron(II) nitrate ⟶ water + ferric nitrate + manganese(II) nitrate
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + + ⟶ + + Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 + c_3 ⟶ c_4 + c_5 + c_6 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, O, Mn and Fe: H: | c_1 = 2 c_4 N: | c_1 + 2 c_3 = 3 c_5 + 2 c_6 O: | 3 c_1 + 2 c_2 + 6 c_3 = c_4 + 9 c_5 + 6 c_6 Mn: | c_2 = c_6 Fe: | c_3 = 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 = 4 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 4 + + 2 ⟶ 2 + 2 +
