Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + I_2 + AgNO_3 ⟶ HNO_2 + AgI + AgIO_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 I_2 + c_3 AgNO_3 ⟶ c_4 HNO_2 + c_5 AgI + c_6 AgIO_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, I, Ag and N: H: | 2 c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 + 3 c_3 = 2 c_4 + 3 c_6 I: | 2 c_2 = c_5 + c_6 Ag: | c_3 = c_5 + c_6 N: | c_3 = 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | H_2O + I_2 + 2 AgNO_3 ⟶ 2 HNO_2 + AgI + AgIO_3

Write the balanced chemical equation: H_2O + I_2 + 2 AgNO_3 ⟶ 2 HNO_2 + AgI + AgIO_3 Assign stoichiometric numbers, ν_i, using the stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, from the balanced chemical equation in the following manner: ν_i = -c_i for reactants and ν_i = c_i for products: chemical species | c_i | ν_i H_2O | 1 | -1 I_2 | 1 | -1 AgNO_3 | 2 | -2 HNO_2 | 2 | 2 AgI | 1 | 1 AgIO_3 | 1 | 1 The rate term for each chemical species, B_i, is 1/ν_i(Δ[B_i])/(Δt) where [B_i] is the amount concentration and t is time: chemical species | c_i | ν_i | rate term H_2O | 1 | -1 | -(Δ[H2O])/(Δt) I_2 | 1 | -1 | -(Δ[I2])/(Δt) AgNO_3 | 2 | -2 | -1/2 (Δ[AgNO3])/(Δt) HNO_2 | 2 | 2 | 1/2 (Δ[HNO2])/(Δt) AgI | 1 | 1 | (Δ[AgI])/(Δt) AgIO_3 | 1 | 1 | (Δ[AgIO3])/(Δt) (for infinitesimal rate of change, replace Δ with d) Set the rate terms equal to each other to arrive at the rate expression: Answer: | | rate = -(Δ[H2O])/(Δt) = -(Δ[I2])/(Δt) = -1/2 (Δ[AgNO3])/(Δt) = 1/2 (Δ[HNO2])/(Δt) = (Δ[AgI])/(Δt) = (Δ[AgIO3])/(Δt) (assuming constant volume and no accumulation of intermediates or side products)
