Input interpretation
NO nitric oxide + O_3 ozone ⟶ O_2 oxygen + NO_2 nitrogen dioxide
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NO + O_3 ⟶ O_2 + NO_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NO + c_2 O_3 ⟶ c_3 O_2 + c_4 NO_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for N and O: N: | c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 + 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 + 2 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_3 = (3 c_2)/2 - 1/2 c_4 = 1 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_2 = 1 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | NO + O_3 ⟶ O_2 + NO_2
