Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KOH + SeCl_4 ⟶ H_2O + KCl + H_2SeO_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KOH + c_2 SeCl_4 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 KCl + c_5 H_2SeO_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, K, O, Cl and Se: H: | c_1 = 2 c_3 + 2 c_5 K: | c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 = c_3 + 3 c_5 Cl: | 4 c_2 = c_4 Se: | c_2 = 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 4 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 4 KOH + SeCl_4 ⟶ H_2O + 4 KCl + H_2SeO_3
