H2O + CuSO4 = H2SO4 + Cu(OH)2

Input interpretation

water + copper(II) sulfate ⟶ sulfuric acid + copper hydroxide
water + copper(II) sulfate ⟶ sulfuric acid + copper hydroxide

Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically:  + ⟶ +  Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 ⟶ c_3 + c_4  Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Cu and S: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 + 2 c_4 O: | c_1 + 4 c_2 = 4 c_3 + 2 c_4 Cu: | c_2 = c_4 S: | 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 + ⟶ +
