Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HNO_3 + Ag(NH3)2Cl ⟶ NH_4NO_3 + AgCl Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HNO_3 + c_2 Ag(NH3)2Cl ⟶ c_3 NH_4NO_3 + c_4 AgCl Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, O, Ag and Cl: H: | c_1 + 6 c_2 = 4 c_3 N: | c_1 + 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 O: | 3 c_1 = 3 c_3 Ag: | c_2 = c_4 Cl: | c_2 = 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 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 HNO_3 + Ag(NH3)2Cl ⟶ 2 NH_4NO_3 + AgCl
