Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Cl_2 + NH_4OH ⟶ H_2O + N_2 + NH_4Cl Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Cl_2 + c_2 NH_4OH ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 N_2 + c_5 NH_4Cl Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, N and O: Cl: | 2 c_1 = c_5 H: | 5 c_2 = 2 c_3 + 4 c_5 N: | c_2 = 2 c_4 + c_5 O: | c_2 = c_3 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 = 3 c_2 = 8 c_3 = 8 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 6 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 Cl_2 + 8 NH_4OH ⟶ 8 H_2O + N_2 + 6 NH_4Cl
