Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HNO_3 + Li ⟶ H_2O + N_2 + LiNO_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HNO_3 + c_2 Li ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 N_2 + c_5 LiNO_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, O and Li: H: | c_1 = 2 c_3 N: | c_1 = 2 c_4 + c_5 O: | 3 c_1 = c_3 + 3 c_5 Li: | c_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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 12 c_2 = 10 c_3 = 6 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 10 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 12 HNO_3 + 10 Li ⟶ 6 H_2O + N_2 + 10 LiNO_3
