Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Cu + HNO_3 ⟶ Cu(NO_3)_2 + NO_2 + H_2O Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Cu + c_2 HNO_3 ⟶ c_3 Cu(NO_3)_2 + c_4 NO_2 + c_5 H_2O Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cu, H, N and O: Cu: | c_1 = c_3 H: | c_2 = 2 c_5 N: | c_2 = 2 c_3 + c_4 O: | 3 c_2 = 6 c_3 + 2 c_4 + 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 = 4 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | Cu + 4 HNO_3 ⟶ Cu(NO_3)_2 + 2 NO_2 + 2 H_2O
