Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HNO_3 + Al ⟶ H_2O + NO + N_2O + Al(NO_3)_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HNO_3 + c_2 Al ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 NO + c_5 N_2O + c_6 Al(NO_3)_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, O and Al: H: | c_1 = 2 c_3 N: | c_1 = c_4 + 2 c_5 + 3 c_6 O: | 3 c_1 = c_3 + c_4 + c_5 + 9 c_6 Al: | c_2 = 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_2 = (4 c_1)/15 - 1/15 c_3 = c_1/2 c_4 = 1 c_5 = c_1/10 - 2/5 c_6 = (4 c_1)/15 - 1/15 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_1 = 34 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 34 c_2 = 9 c_3 = 17 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 3 c_6 = 9 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 34 HNO_3 + 9 Al ⟶ 17 H_2O + NO + 3 N_2O + 9 Al(NO_3)_3
