Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HBr + KBrO ⟶ H_2O + Br_2 + KBr Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HBr + c_2 KBrO ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 Br_2 + c_5 KBr Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Br, H, K and O: Br: | c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_4 + c_5 H: | c_1 = 2 c_3 K: | c_2 = c_5 O: | c_2 = c_3 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 = 1 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 HBr + KBrO ⟶ H_2O + Br_2 + KBr
