Input interpretation
NaI sodium iodide + Pb(NO_3)_2 lead(II) nitrate ⟶ NaNO_3 sodium nitrate + PbI_2 lead iodide
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaI + Pb(NO_3)_2 ⟶ NaNO_3 + PbI_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaI + c_2 Pb(NO_3)_2 ⟶ c_3 NaNO_3 + c_4 PbI_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for I, Na, N, O and Pb: I: | c_1 = 2 c_4 Na: | c_1 = c_3 N: | 2 c_2 = c_3 O: | 6 c_2 = 3 c_3 Pb: | c_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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 NaI + Pb(NO_3)_2 ⟶ 2 NaNO_3 + PbI_2
