Input interpretation
H_2O water + O_2 oxygen + NaOH sodium hydroxide + Na3IrCl6 ⟶ NaCl sodium chloride + Ir(OH)4
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + O_2 + NaOH + Na3IrCl6 ⟶ NaCl + Ir(OH)4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 O_2 + c_3 NaOH + c_4 Na3IrCl6 ⟶ c_5 NaCl + c_6 Ir(OH)4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Na, Ir and Cl: H: | 2 c_1 + c_3 = 4 c_6 O: | c_1 + 2 c_2 + c_3 = 4 c_6 Na: | c_3 + 3 c_4 = c_5 Ir: | c_4 = c_6 Cl: | 6 c_4 = 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 12 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 24 c_6 = 4 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 H_2O + O_2 + 12 NaOH + 4 Na3IrCl6 ⟶ 24 NaCl + 4 Ir(OH)4
