Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaOH + AlBr_3 ⟶ Al(OH)_3 + NaBr Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaOH + c_2 AlBr_3 ⟶ c_3 Al(OH)_3 + c_4 NaBr Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, Na, O, Al and Br: H: | c_1 = 3 c_3 Na: | c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 = 3 c_3 Al: | c_2 = c_3 Br: | 3 c_2 = 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 NaOH + AlBr_3 ⟶ Al(OH)_3 + 3 NaBr
