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 Br, I and Na: Br: | 2 c_1 = c_4 I: | c_2 = 2 c_3 Na: | c_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 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | + 2 ⟶ + 2
