Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: N_2O_5 + HPO_3 ⟶ HNO_3 + P2O5 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 N_2O_5 + c_2 HPO_3 ⟶ c_3 HNO_3 + c_4 P2O5 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for N, O, H and P: N: | 2 c_1 = c_3 O: | 5 c_1 + 3 c_2 = 3 c_3 + 5 c_4 H: | c_2 = c_3 P: | 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | N_2O_5 + 2 HPO_3 ⟶ 2 HNO_3 + P2O5
