Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + S + Br_2 ⟶ H_2SO_4 + HBr Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 S + c_3 Br_2 ⟶ c_4 H_2SO_4 + c_5 HBr Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S and Br: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_4 + c_5 O: | c_1 = 4 c_4 S: | c_2 = c_4 Br: | 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 4 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 6 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 4 H_2O + S + 3 Br_2 ⟶ H_2SO_4 + 6 HBr
