Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + Mg + RbNO_3 ⟶ NH_3 + Mg(OH)_2 + RbO_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 Mg + c_3 RbNO_3 ⟶ c_4 NH_3 + c_5 Mg(OH)_2 + c_6 RbO_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Mg, N and Rb: H: | 2 c_1 = 3 c_4 + 2 c_5 O: | c_1 + 3 c_3 = 2 c_5 + 2 c_6 Mg: | c_2 = c_5 N: | c_3 = c_4 Rb: | c_3 = c_6 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 4 c_2 = 5/2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 5/2 c_6 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 8 c_2 = 5 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 5 c_6 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 8 H_2O + 5 Mg + 2 RbNO_3 ⟶ 2 NH_3 + 5 Mg(OH)_2 + 2 RbO_2
