Input interpretation
Mn2O2 ⟶ MnO manganese monoxide
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Mn2O2 ⟶ MnO Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Mn2O2 ⟶ c_2 MnO Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Mn and O: Mn: | 2 c_1 = c_2 O: | 2 c_1 = c_2 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 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | Mn2O2 ⟶ 2 MnO
