Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: C + HClO_4 ⟶ H_2O + Cl_2 + CO_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 C + c_2 HClO_4 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 Cl_2 + c_5 CO_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for C, Cl, H and O: C: | c_1 = c_5 Cl: | c_2 = 2 c_4 H: | c_2 = 2 c_3 O: | 4 c_2 = c_3 + 2 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 = 7/2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 7/2 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 7 c_2 = 4 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 7 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 7 C + 4 HClO_4 ⟶ 2 H_2O + 2 Cl_2 + 7 CO_2
