H2 + SiO = H2O + Si

H_2 hydrogen + SiO silicon monoxide ⟶ H_2O water + Si silicon

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2 + SiO ⟶ H_2O + Si Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2 + c_2 SiO ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 Si Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O and Si: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 O: | c_2 = c_3 Si: | c_2 = 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | H_2 + SiO ⟶ H_2O + Si
