Balancing this equation?

I'm supposed to balance the following equation:

[latex] HCl + As2O3 + NaNO3 + H2O -> NO + H3AsO4 + NaCl [/latex]

 

Anyways, I got stuck stuck here...

 

[latex] HCl + As2O3 + NaNO3 + 3H2O -> NO + 2H3AsO4 + NaCl [/latex]

 

No matter what I do I couldn't get H and O to balance out at the same time! When I balance O, the H is out of balance, and when I balance H, O is out of balance! Augh!

 

How do I do this?


I realized that I might have posted this on the wrong topic of the forum. Is it possible for me or a moderator to delete this topic? I am going to post it again on the homework help section.

 

Sorry!
