Input interpretation
sulfuric acid + white tin ⟶ water + hydrogen sulfide + Sn(SO4)2
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + ⟶ + + Sn(SO4)2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 ⟶ c_3 + c_4 + c_5 Sn(SO4)2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S and Sn: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 + 2 c_4 O: | 4 c_1 = c_3 + 8 c_5 S: | c_1 = c_4 + 2 c_5 Sn: | 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 5 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 4 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 5 + 2 ⟶ 4 + + 2 Sn(SO4)2
