Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + K_2CO_3 + AlBr_3 ⟶ CO_2 + KBr + Al(OH)_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 K_2CO_3 + c_3 AlBr_3 ⟶ c_4 CO_2 + c_5 KBr + c_6 Al(OH)_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, C, K, Al and Br: H: | 2 c_1 = 3 c_6 O: | c_1 + 3 c_2 = 2 c_4 + 3 c_6 C: | c_2 = c_4 K: | 2 c_2 = c_5 Al: | c_3 = c_6 Br: | 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. For instance, set c_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3/2 c_2 = 3/2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3/2 c_5 = 3 c_6 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 6 c_6 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 H_2O + 3 K_2CO_3 + 2 AlBr_3 ⟶ 3 CO_2 + 6 KBr + 2 Al(OH)_3
