Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HF + CH_2Cl_2 ⟶ HCl + CH2FCl Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HF + c_2 CH_2Cl_2 ⟶ c_3 HCl + c_4 CH2FCl Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for F, H, C and Cl: F: | c_1 = c_4 H: | c_1 + 2 c_2 = c_3 + 2 c_4 C: | c_2 = c_4 Cl: | 2 c_2 = c_3 + 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 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | HF + CH_2Cl_2 ⟶ HCl + CH2FCl
