Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + K_2MnO_4 ⟶ KOH + KMnO_4 + KMnO2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 K_2MnO_4 ⟶ c_3 KOH + c_4 KMnO_4 + c_5 KMnO2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, K and Mn: H: | 2 c_1 = c_3 O: | c_1 + 4 c_2 = c_3 + 4 c_4 + 2 c_5 K: | 2 c_2 = c_3 + c_4 + c_5 Mn: | c_2 = c_4 + c_5 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_5 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 4 c_3 = 4 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 H_2O + 4 K_2MnO_4 ⟶ 4 KOH + 3 KMnO_4 + KMnO2
