Input interpretation
NaOH sodium hydroxide + H_2O_2 hydrogen peroxide + CoN_2O_6 cobaltous nitrate ⟶ H_2O water + NaNO_3 sodium nitrate + CoO2
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaOH + H_2O_2 + CoN_2O_6 ⟶ H_2O + NaNO_3 + CoO2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaOH + c_2 H_2O_2 + c_3 CoN_2O_6 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 NaNO_3 + c_6 CoO2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, Na, O, Co and N: H: | c_1 + 2 c_2 = 2 c_4 Na: | c_1 = c_5 O: | c_1 + 2 c_2 + 6 c_3 = c_4 + 3 c_5 + 2 c_6 Co: | c_3 = c_6 N: | 2 c_3 = c_5 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 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 NaOH + H_2O_2 + CoN_2O_6 ⟶ 2 H_2O + 2 NaNO_3 + CoO2
