Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2SO_4 + H_2S + K2Cr7 ⟶ H_2O + K_2SO_4 + S + Cr_2(SO_4)_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2SO_4 + c_2 H_2S + c_3 K2Cr7 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 K_2SO_4 + c_6 S + c_7 Cr_2(SO_4)_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, K and Cr: H: | 2 c_1 + 2 c_2 = 2 c_4 O: | 4 c_1 = c_4 + 4 c_5 + 12 c_7 S: | c_1 + c_2 = c_5 + c_6 + 3 c_7 K: | 2 c_3 = 2 c_5 Cr: | 7 c_3 = 2 c_7 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_2 = 1 c_3 = (3 c_1)/46 - 1/46 c_4 = c_1 + 1 c_5 = (3 c_1)/46 - 1/46 c_6 = c_1/4 + 5/4 c_7 = (21 c_1)/92 - 7/92 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_1 = 123 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 123 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 8 c_4 = 124 c_5 = 8 c_6 = 32 c_7 = 28 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 123 H_2SO_4 + H_2S + 8 K2Cr7 ⟶ 124 H_2O + 8 K_2SO_4 + 32 S + 28 Cr_2(SO_4)_3
