Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HNO_3 + Si ⟶ H_2O + NO + SiO_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HNO_3 + c_2 Si ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 NO + c_5 SiO_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, O and Si: H: | c_1 = 2 c_3 N: | c_1 = c_4 O: | 3 c_1 = c_3 + c_4 + 2 c_5 Si: | c_2 = c_5 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 = 2 c_2 = 3/2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 3/2 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 4 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 4 HNO_3 + 3 Si ⟶ 2 H_2O + 4 NO + 3 SiO_2
