Input interpretation
hydrogen chloride + nitric acid + titanium ⟶ water + nitric oxide + TiCl
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + + ⟶ + + TiCl Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 + c_3 ⟶ c_4 + c_5 + c_6 TiCl Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, N, O and Ti: Cl: | c_1 = c_6 H: | c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_4 N: | c_2 = c_5 O: | 3 c_2 = c_4 + c_5 Ti: | 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 3 + + 3 ⟶ 2 + + 3 TiCl
