Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Fe(NO_3)_3 + K4Fe(CN)6 ⟶ KNO_3 + Fe4(Fe(CN)6)3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Fe(NO_3)_3 + c_2 K4Fe(CN)6 ⟶ c_3 KNO_3 + c_4 Fe4(Fe(CN)6)3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Fe, N, O, K and C: Fe: | c_1 + c_2 = 7 c_4 N: | 3 c_1 + 6 c_2 = c_3 + 18 c_4 O: | 9 c_1 = 3 c_3 K: | 4 c_2 = c_3 C: | 6 c_2 = 18 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 4 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 12 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 4 Fe(NO_3)_3 + 3 K4Fe(CN)6 ⟶ 12 KNO_3 + Fe4(Fe(CN)6)3
