Systematically balancing equations
« on: September 28, 2010, 09:33:22 AM »
I'm looking for a more efficient system for balancing chemical equations.

This looks promising, but I don't understand the table in the How Does it Work section. http://www.personal.psu.edu/jzl157/balance.htm

Say I have Cu + HNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + H2O + NO. Can someone work this out step by step?

Thanks.

This isn't a very good example for someone learning the basics of balancing, in my opinion.  Will post my method soon, I have to run to class.  Here's the answer if you're curious.

3 Cu + 8 HNO3 = 3 Cu(NO3)2 + 4 H20 + 2 NO
