Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KNO_3 + PbCO_3 ⟶ CO_2 + KNO_2 + PbO4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KNO_3 + c_2 PbCO_3 ⟶ c_3 CO_2 + c_4 KNO_2 + c_5 PbO4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for K, N, O, C and Pb: K: | c_1 = c_4 N: | c_1 = c_4 O: | 3 c_1 + 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 + 2 c_4 + 4 c_5 C: | c_2 = c_3 Pb: | 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 KNO_3 + PbCO_3 ⟶ CO_2 + 3 KNO_2 + PbO4
