Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KNO_3 + Cr_2S_3 ⟶ K_2SO_4 + NO + K_2CrO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KNO_3 + c_2 Cr_2S_3 ⟶ c_3 K_2SO_4 + c_4 NO + c_5 K_2CrO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for K, N, O, Cr and S: K: | c_1 = 2 c_3 + 2 c_5 N: | c_1 = c_4 O: | 3 c_1 = 4 c_3 + c_4 + 4 c_5 Cr: | 2 c_2 = c_5 S: | 3 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 = 10 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 10 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 10 KNO_3 + Cr_2S_3 ⟶ 3 K_2SO_4 + 10 NO + 2 K_2CrO_4
