Input interpretation
H_2O water + NH_3 ammonia + P2O5 ⟶ (NH_4)_2HPO_4 diammonium hydrogen phosphate
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + NH_3 + P2O5 ⟶ (NH_4)_2HPO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 NH_3 + c_3 P2O5 ⟶ c_4 (NH_4)_2HPO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, N and P: H: | 2 c_1 + 3 c_2 = 9 c_4 O: | c_1 + 5 c_3 = 4 c_4 N: | c_2 = 2 c_4 P: | 2 c_3 = c_4 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 4 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 3 H_2O + 4 NH_3 + P2O5 ⟶ 2 (NH_4)_2HPO_4
