Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NH_3 + As_2S_3 + NH_4SH ⟶ (NH4)3AsS3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NH_3 + c_2 As_2S_3 + c_3 NH_4SH ⟶ c_4 (NH4)3AsS3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, As and S: H: | 3 c_1 + 5 c_3 = 12 c_4 N: | c_1 + c_3 = 3 c_4 As: | 2 c_2 = c_4 S: | 3 c_2 + c_3 = 3 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 NH_3 + As_2S_3 + 3 NH_4SH ⟶ 2 (NH4)3AsS3
