Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + Na_2S + NaSO3 ⟶ NaOH + S Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 Na_2S + c_3 NaSO3 ⟶ c_4 NaOH + c_5 S Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Na and S: H: | 2 c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 + 3 c_3 = c_4 Na: | 2 c_2 + c_3 = c_4 S: | c_2 + c_3 = c_5 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 = 3 c_2 = 5/2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 6 c_5 = 7/2 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 6 c_2 = 5 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 12 c_5 = 7 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 6 H_2O + 5 Na_2S + 2 NaSO3 ⟶ 12 NaOH + 7 S
