Question 0.3. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH, also known as lye, or caustic soda, because it is highly caustic) reacts with sulfur dioxide (SO2, which is a toxic gas, and causes the smell of burnt matches ) to produce sodium sulfite (Na2SO3, a non-toxic substance which is used in the alimentary and paper industries) and water. So the product of this reaction is not dangerous: that is, if you balance it properly, otherwise some of the original toxic substances will remain. Balance the equation aNaOH+bSO2cNa2SO3+dH2O by writing and solving a linear system to find (integer, positive) coefficients a,b,c,d so that the number of atoms of each of three elements involved (Na,S,O,H) is the same on both sides
