Input interpretation
NaOH sodium hydroxide + CH3NH3Cl ⟶ H_2O water + NaCl sodium chloride + CH_3NH_2 methylamine
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaOH + CH3NH3Cl ⟶ H_2O + NaCl + CH_3NH_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaOH + c_2 CH3NH3Cl ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 NaCl + c_5 CH_3NH_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, Na, O, C, N and Cl: H: | c_1 + 6 c_2 = 2 c_3 + 5 c_5 Na: | c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 = c_3 C: | c_2 = c_5 N: | c_2 = c_5 Cl: | c_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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | NaOH + CH3NH3Cl ⟶ H_2O + NaCl + CH_3NH_2
