O2 + HI = H2O + I2

Input interpretation

oxygen + hydrogen iodide ⟶ water + iodine
oxygen + hydrogen iodide ⟶ water + iodine

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 O, H and I: O: | 2 c_1 = c_3 H: | c_2 = 2 c_3 I: | c_2 = 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 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | + 4 ⟶ 2 + 2
