Input interpretation
H_2O water + KI potassium iodide + Na_2O_2 sodium peroxide ⟶ NaOH sodium hydroxide + KOH potassium hydroxide + I_2 iodine
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + KI + Na_2O_2 ⟶ NaOH + KOH + I_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 KI + c_3 Na_2O_2 ⟶ c_4 NaOH + c_5 KOH + c_6 I_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, I, K and Na: H: | 2 c_1 = c_4 + c_5 O: | c_1 + 2 c_3 = c_4 + c_5 I: | c_2 = 2 c_6 K: | c_2 = c_5 Na: | 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 H_2O + 2 KI + Na_2O_2 ⟶ 2 NaOH + 2 KOH + I_2
