| May 1, 2018 at 19:53 | comment | added | Jingjie Yang | @IvanNeretin Ohh, I didn't think about that! So a negative coefficient in the reactants is equivalent to a positive coefficient in the products, right? Would you like to elaborate in an answer so I can accept it? | |
| May 1, 2018 at 19:51 | comment | added | Ivan Neretin | There is nothing special about a negative coefficient. If you prefer not to have it, transfer that term to the other side. | |
| May 1, 2018 at 19:32 | comment | added | Jingjie Yang | @Mithoron I guess I am being more a mathematician than a chemist here, but clearly there are other solutions, which makes me wonder if they too are valid solutions. | |
| May 1, 2018 at 19:25 | comment | added | Mithoron | Your equation was already balanced, so why would you try to get other solution? | |
