Help me balance an equation, please?

Ha...it's been so long. See if you can take a crack at this baby (I'm doing some Inorganic research)

Thanks.


Co(NO₃)₂ + NH₃ + (NH₄)₂CO₃ + H₂O₂ ---> [Co(NH₃)₄CO₃]NO₃ +

NH₄NO₃ + H₂O

Since No₃ is immutable you first substitute it to X then use the balancer, and then replace X back to NO₃:

Code: Select all

2 Co(NO3)2 + 6 NH3 + 2 (NH4)2CO3 + H2O2 = 2 [Co(NH3)4CO3]NO3 + 2 NH4NO3 + 2 H2O
