NaCl + F2 = Cl2 + NaF

Input interpretation

sodium chloride + fluorine ⟶ chlorine + sodium fluoride
sodium chloride + fluorine ⟶ chlorine + sodium fluoride

Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically:  + ⟶ +  Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 ⟶ c_3 + c_4  Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, Na and F: Cl: | c_1 = 2 c_3 Na: | c_1 = c_4 F: | 2 c_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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 + ⟶ + 2
