Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + S + Na_2Cr_2O_7 ⟶ NaOH + SO_2 + Cr_2O_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 S + c_3 Na_2Cr_2O_7 ⟶ c_4 NaOH + c_5 SO_2 + c_6 Cr_2O_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, Cr and Na: H: | 2 c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 + 7 c_3 = c_4 + 2 c_5 + 3 c_6 S: | c_2 = c_5 Cr: | 2 c_3 = 2 c_6 Na: | 2 c_3 = 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 = 3/2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 3/2 c_6 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 3 c_6 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 H_2O + 3 S + 2 Na_2Cr_2O_7 ⟶ 4 NaOH + 3 SO_2 + 2 Cr_2O_3
