To keep the coefficients small, the arbitrary value is ordinarily one. For instance, set c_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 20 c_2 = 14 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 28 c_6 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 20 H_2O + 14 Cl_2 + As_2S_3 ⟶ 3 H_2SO_4 + 28 HCl + 2 H_3AsO_4
