Balanced equation
![Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Cu(OH)_2 ⟶ H_2O + CuO Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Cu(OH)_2 ⟶ c_2 H_2O + c_3 CuO Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cu, H and O: Cu: | c_1 = c_3 H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_2 O: | 2 c_1 = 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | Cu(OH)_2 ⟶ H_2O + CuO](../image_source/e6212e4b04682278fe8dd782cb01cbf0.png)
