Input interpretation
HCl hydrogen chloride + NaNO_3 sodium nitrate + Ag silver ⟶ H_2 hydrogen + NaCl sodium chloride + AgNO_3 silver nitrate
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HCl + NaNO_3 + Ag ⟶ H_2 + NaCl + AgNO_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HCl + c_2 NaNO_3 + c_3 Ag ⟶ c_4 H_2 + c_5 NaCl + c_6 AgNO_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, N, Na, O and Ag: Cl: | c_1 = c_5 H: | c_1 = 2 c_4 N: | c_2 = c_6 Na: | c_2 = c_5 O: | 3 c_2 = 3 c_6 Ag: | c_3 = 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 HCl + 2 NaNO_3 + 2 Ag ⟶ H_2 + 2 NaCl + 2 AgNO_3
