Input interpretation
iron(III) chloride + ammonium hydroxide ⟶ iron(III) hydroxide + ammonium chloride
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + ⟶ + Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 ⟶ c_3 + c_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, Fe, H, N and O: Cl: | 3 c_1 = c_4 Fe: | c_1 = c_3 H: | 5 c_2 = 3 c_3 + 4 c_4 N: | c_2 = c_4 O: | c_2 = 3 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 = 3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | + 3 ⟶ + 3
