Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HCl + KMnO_4 ⟶ H_2O + Cl_2 + KClMnCl2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HCl + c_2 KMnO_4 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 Cl_2 + c_5 KClMnCl2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, K, Mn and O: Cl: | c_1 = 2 c_4 + 3 c_5 H: | c_1 = 2 c_3 K: | c_2 = c_5 Mn: | c_2 = c_5 O: | 4 c_2 = c_3 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 8 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 4 c_4 = 5/2 c_5 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 16 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 8 c_4 = 5 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 16 HCl + 2 KMnO_4 ⟶ 8 H_2O + 5 Cl_2 + 2 KClMnCl2
