Input interpretation
NaNO_3 sodium nitrate + PbO lead monoxide ⟶ Pb(NO_3)_2 lead(II) nitrate + Na_2O sodium oxide
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaNO_3 + PbO ⟶ Pb(NO_3)_2 + Na_2O Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaNO_3 + c_2 PbO ⟶ c_3 Pb(NO_3)_2 + c_4 Na_2O Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for N, Na, O and Pb: N: | c_1 = 2 c_3 Na: | c_1 = 2 c_4 O: | 3 c_1 + c_2 = 6 c_3 + c_4 Pb: | c_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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 NaNO_3 + PbO ⟶ Pb(NO_3)_2 + Na_2O
