Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2SO_4 + MnO_2 + HO_2CCO_2H ⟶ H_2O + CO_2 + MnSO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2SO_4 + c_2 MnO_2 + c_3 HO_2CCO_2H ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 CO_2 + c_6 MnSO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, Mn and C: H: | 2 c_1 + 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 O: | 4 c_1 + 2 c_2 + 4 c_3 = c_4 + 2 c_5 + 4 c_6 S: | c_1 = c_6 Mn: | c_2 = c_6 C: | 2 c_3 = 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | H_2SO_4 + MnO_2 + HO_2CCO_2H ⟶ 2 H_2O + 2 CO_2 + MnSO_4
