Think you can solve this?
I'd highly doubt it. See if you can balance this chemical equation:
[Cr(N2H4CO)6]4[Cr(CN)6]3 + KMnO4 + H2SO4 -> K2Cr2O7 + MnSO4 + CO2 + KNO3 + K2SO4 + H2O
I'll give you a hint: Substitute this for the first number: Cr7N66H96C42O24
Then, label each chemical with the letters a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, and i respectively.
Set anything equal to each other for every element (ex. Cr = 7a = 2d, N = 66a = g, H = 96a + 2c = 2i, etc.)
Then you just solve like a puzzle.
ANSWER CONCEALED HERE: 10[Cr(N2H4CO)6]4[Cr(CN)6]3 + 1176KMnO4 + 1399H2SO4 -> 35K2Cr2O7 + 1176MnSO4 + 420CO2 + 660KNO3 + 223K2SO4 + 1879H20
You now have no reason to ever complain about chemistry homework in your life.
discuss.

Did you solve it or just write down the answer? Or just look it up?

Neither. He probably just copied from where you said "HAY YALLZ THIS IS THE ANSWER YO"

Re: Think you can solve this?
I tried for a while to solve it mentally, but gave up when I realized some coefficients would be over 100. Maybe I'll come back to it with a paper and pencil, but I'm too lazy at the moment

Correction: Some are over 1000, one almost 2000.

That's what I meant by "just write down the answer."

Re: Think you can solve this?
I'm pretty sure 10s and under should slowly back away from this.
