Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HNO_3 + CuS ⟶ H_2O + NO_2 + Cu(NO_3)_2 + S_8 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HNO_3 + c_2 CuS ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 NO_2 + c_5 Cu(NO_3)_2 + c_6 S_8 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, O, Cu and S: H: | c_1 = 2 c_3 N: | c_1 = c_4 + 2 c_5 O: | 3 c_1 = c_3 + 2 c_4 + 6 c_5 Cu: | c_2 = c_5 S: | c_2 = 8 c_6 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_6 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 32 c_2 = 8 c_3 = 16 c_4 = 16 c_5 = 8 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 32 HNO_3 + 8 CuS ⟶ 16 H_2O + 16 NO_2 + 8 Cu(NO_3)_2 + S_8
