Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KOH + H_2O_2 + AuCl_3 ⟶ H_2O + O_2 + KCl + Au Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KOH + c_2 H_2O_2 + c_3 AuCl_3 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 O_2 + c_6 KCl + c_7 Au Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, K, O, Au and Cl: H: | c_1 + 2 c_2 = 2 c_4 K: | c_1 = c_6 O: | c_1 + 2 c_2 = c_4 + 2 c_5 Au: | c_3 = c_7 Cl: | 3 c_3 = c_6 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_2 = 1 c_3 = c_1/3 c_4 = c_1/2 + 1 c_5 = c_1/4 + 1/2 c_6 = c_1 c_7 = c_1/3 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_1 = 6 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 6 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 6 c_7 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 6 KOH + H_2O_2 + 2 AuCl_3 ⟶ 4 H_2O + 2 O_2 + 6 KCl + 2 Au
