H2O2 + N2H4 = H2O + N2

H_2O_2 hydrogen peroxide + NH_2NH_2 diazane ⟶ H_2O water + N_2 nitrogen

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O_2 + NH_2NH_2 ⟶ H_2O + N_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O_2 + c_2 NH_2NH_2 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 N_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O and N: H: | 2 c_1 + 4 c_2 = 2 c_3 O: | 2 c_1 = c_3 N: | 2 c_2 = 2 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 4 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 H_2O_2 + NH_2NH_2 ⟶ 4 H_2O + N_2
