Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KOH + Br_2 + Cr_2(SO_4)_3 ⟶ H_2O + K_2SO_4 + KBr + K_2CrO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KOH + c_2 Br_2 + c_3 Cr_2(SO_4)_3 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 K_2SO_4 + c_6 KBr + c_7 K_2CrO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, K, O, Br, Cr and S: H: | c_1 = 2 c_4 K: | c_1 = 2 c_5 + c_6 + 2 c_7 O: | c_1 + 12 c_3 = c_4 + 4 c_5 + 4 c_7 Br: | 2 c_2 = c_6 Cr: | 2 c_3 = c_7 S: | 3 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.
