Balanced equation
![Balance the chemical equation algebraically: O_2 + Cu ⟶ Cu2O3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 O_2 + c_2 Cu ⟶ c_3 Cu2O3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for O and Cu: O: | 2 c_1 = 3 c_3 Cu: | c_2 = 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3/2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 4 c_3 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 3 O_2 + 4 Cu ⟶ 2 Cu2O3](../image_source/352bd0604cdb00d0b14e24356a9decf5.png)
