How to Balance S + HNO3 = H2SO4 + NO2 + H2O (Sulfur + Nitric acid)

[@pari2421]

I was trying this for 2 hrs..and you just explained it in no tym..thnx😄

[@sampasutradhar8177]

Lol.. me too

[@ravilohia4865]

Yes

[@Entertainment__-ub5dm]

Same

[@resiliencechemistrypramods7795]

It's better to assume coefficients of reactants & products as a, b,c,d,e. Balancing means all atoms must be equal in both sides.
Now solve a,b,c,d,e by writing equations.
For S: a=c
For N: b=d
For H: b=2c + 2e
For O: 3b=4c+2d+e
Now assume any one as 1 & solve remaing by using these equations. For simplicity assume a or b =1.
If a=1 then c =1. Now solve b,d & e.
U will get b=d= 6, e= 2

[@baharmasoudian3116]

At 1:30, how did you come up with the coefficient of 2 for H2O? Just random? Instinct?

[@neetubawa4233]

Bcoz number of O2 on reactant side is even and if it would be multiplied to any of the numbers the result will also be an even number,
But on product side we r having sum = odd number and which need to be converted into an even one so as to ensure a balanced equation, only 1 O atom in H2O need to be converted into even O's (bcoz other are already even but this one is not and hence causing a prblm)
Therefore we will just multiply it by smallest even no. 2 to proceed further for balancing.
