Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2SO_4 + SO_3 + KHF_2 ⟶ K_2SO_4 + FSO_3H Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2SO_4 + c_2 SO_3 + c_3 KHF_2 ⟶ c_4 K_2SO_4 + c_5 FSO_3H Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, F and K: H: | 2 c_1 + c_3 = c_5 O: | 4 c_1 + 3 c_2 = 4 c_4 + 3 c_5 S: | c_1 + c_2 = c_4 + c_5 F: | 2 c_3 = c_5 K: | c_3 = 2 c_4 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 = 4 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 4 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | H_2SO_4 + 4 SO_3 + 2 KHF_2 ⟶ K_2SO_4 + 4 FSO_3H
