Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NO_2 + FeI_2 ⟶ I_2 + NO + Fe(NO_3)_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NO_2 + c_2 FeI_2 ⟶ c_3 I_2 + c_4 NO + c_5 Fe(NO_3)_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for N, O, Fe and I: N: | c_1 = c_4 + 3 c_5 O: | 2 c_1 = c_4 + 9 c_5 Fe: | c_2 = c_5 I: | 2 c_2 = 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 6 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: |   | 6 NO_2 + FeI_2 ⟶ I_2 + 3 NO + Fe(NO_3)_3
