Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HNO_3 + KMnO_4 + Na2S4O6 ⟶ H_2O + H_2SO_4 + Na_2SO_4 + KNO_3 + Mn(NO_3)_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HNO_3 + c_2 KMnO_4 + c_3 Na2S4O6 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 H_2SO_4 + c_6 Na_2SO_4 + c_7 KNO_3 + c_8 Mn(NO_3)_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, O, K, Mn, Na and S: H: | c_1 = 2 c_4 + 2 c_5 N: | c_1 = c_7 + 2 c_8 O: | 3 c_1 + 4 c_2 + 6 c_3 = c_4 + 4 c_5 + 4 c_6 + 3 c_7 + 6 c_8 K: | c_2 = c_7 Mn: | c_2 = c_8 Na: | 2 c_3 = 2 c_6 S: | 4 c_3 = c_5 + c_6 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 = 42/5 c_2 = 14/5 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 6/5 c_5 = 3 c_6 = 1 c_7 = 14/5 c_8 = 14/5 Multiply by the least common denominator, 5, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 42 c_2 = 14 c_3 = 5 c_4 = 6 c_5 = 15 c_6 = 5 c_7 = 14 c_8 = 14 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 42 HNO_3 + 14 KMnO_4 + 5 Na2S4O6 ⟶ 6 H_2O + 15 H_2SO_4 + 5 Na_2SO_4 + 14 KNO_3 + 14 Mn(NO_3)_2
