Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HCl + HNO_3 + SnCl_2 ⟶ H_2O + N_2O + SnCl_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HCl + c_2 HNO_3 + c_3 SnCl_2 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 N_2O + c_6 SnCl_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, N, O and Sn: Cl: | c_1 + 2 c_3 = 4 c_6 H: | c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_4 N: | c_2 = 2 c_5 O: | 3 c_2 = c_4 + c_5 Sn: | 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_5 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 8 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 4 c_4 = 5 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 4 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 8 HCl + 2 HNO_3 + 4 SnCl_2 ⟶ 5 H_2O + N_2O + 4 SnCl_4
