H2SiO3 = H2O + SiO2

Input interpretation

H_2O_3Si (metasilicic acid) ⟶ H_2O (water) + SiO_2 (silicon dioxide)
H_2O_3Si (metasilicic acid) ⟶ H_2O (water) + SiO_2 (silicon dioxide)

Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O_3Si ⟶ H_2O + SiO_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O_3Si ⟶ c_2 H_2O + c_3 SiO_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O and Si: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_2 O: | 3 c_1 = c_2 + 2 c_3 Si: | c_1 = 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | H_2O_3Si ⟶ H_2O + SiO_2
