Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HBr + HClO3 ⟶ H_2O + Cl_2 + Br_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HBr + c_2 HClO3 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 Cl_2 + c_5 Br_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Br, H, Cl and O: Br: | c_1 = 2 c_5 H: | c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_3 Cl: | c_2 = 2 c_4 O: | 3 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 10 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 6 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 5 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 10 HBr + 2 HClO3 ⟶ 6 H_2O + Cl_2 + 5 Br_2
