Input interpretation
zinc + CuSO3 ⟶ copper + ZnSO3
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + CuSO3 ⟶ + ZnSO3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 CuSO3 ⟶ c_3 + c_4 ZnSO3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Zn, Cu, S and O: Zn: | c_1 = c_4 Cu: | c_2 = c_3 S: | c_2 = c_4 O: | 3 c_2 = 3 c_4 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_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | + CuSO3 ⟶ + ZnSO3
