Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: FeCl_3 + C_6H_5OH ⟶ HCl + Fe(C6H5O)3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 FeCl_3 + c_2 C_6H_5OH ⟶ c_3 HCl + c_4 Fe(C6H5O)3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, Fe, C, H and O: Cl: | 3 c_1 = c_3 Fe: | c_1 = c_4 C: | 6 c_2 = 18 c_4 H: | 6 c_2 = c_3 + 15 c_4 O: | c_2 = 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 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | FeCl_3 + 3 C_6H_5OH ⟶ 3 HCl + Fe(C6H5O)3
