Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NO_2 + Fe(OH)_2 ⟶ H_2O + N_2 + Fe(NO_3)_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NO_2 + c_2 Fe(OH)_2 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 N_2 + c_5 Fe(NO_3)_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for N, O, Fe and H: N: | c_1 = 2 c_4 + 3 c_5 O: | 2 c_1 + 2 c_2 = c_3 + 9 c_5 Fe: | c_2 = c_5 H: | 2 c_2 = 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 8 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 8 NO_2 + 2 Fe(OH)_2 ⟶ 2 H_2O + N_2 + 2 Fe(NO_3)_3
