Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KI + CH_3CO_2H + HIO_3 ⟶ H_2O + I_2 + CH_3COOK Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KI + c_2 CH_3CO_2H + c_3 HIO_3 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 I_2 + c_6 CH_3COOK Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for I, K, C, H and O: I: | c_1 + c_3 = 2 c_5 K: | c_1 = c_6 C: | 2 c_2 = 2 c_6 H: | 4 c_2 + c_3 = 2 c_4 + 3 c_6 O: | 2 c_2 + 3 c_3 = c_4 + 2 c_6 Since the coefficients are relative quantities and underdetermined, choose a coefficient to set arbitrarily. To keep the coefficients small, the arbitrary value is ordinarily one. For instance, set c_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 5 c_2 = 5 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 3 c_6 = 5 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 5 KI + 5 CH_3CO_2H + HIO_3 ⟶ 3 H_2O + 3 I_2 + 5 CH_3COOK
