Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Zn + MnO_2 + NH_4Cl ⟶ H_2O + NH_3 + ZnCl_2 + Mn_2O_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Zn + c_2 MnO_2 + c_3 NH_4Cl ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 NH_3 + c_6 ZnCl_2 + c_7 Mn_2O_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Zn, Mn, O, Cl, H and N: Zn: | c_1 = c_6 Mn: | c_2 = 2 c_7 O: | 2 c_2 = c_4 + 3 c_7 Cl: | c_3 = 2 c_6 H: | 4 c_3 = 2 c_4 + 3 c_5 N: | c_3 = 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 1 c_7 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | Zn + 2 MnO_2 + 2 NH_4Cl ⟶ H_2O + 2 NH_3 + ZnCl_2 + Mn_2O_3
