Step 1: Label Each Compound With a Variable

Label each compound (reactant or product) in the equation with a variable lớn represent the unknown coefficients.

a Cu + b CH3COOH = c Cu(CH3COO)3 + d H2

Step 2: Create a System of Equations

Create an equation for each element (Cu, C, H, O) where each term represents the number of atoms of the element in each reactant or product.

Cu: 1a + 0b = 1c + 0d C: 0a + 2b = 6c + 0d H: 0a + 4b = 9c + 2d O: 0a + 2b = 6c + 0d

Step 3: Solve For All Variables

Use substitution, Gaussian elimination, or a calculator lớn solve for each variable.

  • 1a - 1c = 0
  • 2b - 6c = 0
  • 4b - 9c - 2d = 0
  • 2b - 6c = 0

Use your graphing calculator's rref() function (or an online rref calculator) lớn convert the following matrix into reduced row-echelon-form:

The resulting matrix can be used lớn determine the coefficients. In the case of a single solution, the last column of the matrix will contain the coefficients.

Simplify the result lớn get the lowest, whole integer values.

  • a = 2 (Cu)
  • b = 6 (CH3COOH)
  • c = 2 (Cu(CH3COO)3)
  • d = 3 (H2)

Step 4: Substitute Coefficients and Verify Result

Count the number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation and verify that all elements and electrons (if there are charges/ions) are balanced.

2 Cu + 6 CH3COOH = 2 Cu(CH3COO)3 + 3 H2
