Input interpretation
NaCl sodium chloride + (NH_4)_2HPO_4 diammonium hydrogen phosphate ⟶ Na_2HPO_4 disodium hydrogen phosphate + NH_4Cl ammonium chloride
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaCl + (NH_4)_2HPO_4 ⟶ Na_2HPO_4 + NH_4Cl Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaCl + c_2 (NH_4)_2HPO_4 ⟶ c_3 Na_2HPO_4 + c_4 NH_4Cl Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, Na, H, N, O and P: Cl: | c_1 = c_4 Na: | c_1 = 2 c_3 H: | 9 c_2 = c_3 + 4 c_4 N: | 2 c_2 = c_4 O: | 4 c_2 = 4 c_3 P: | c_2 = c_3 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 = 1 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 NaCl + (NH_4)_2HPO_4 ⟶ Na_2HPO_4 + 2 NH_4Cl
