Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Ba(OH)_2 + K3PO4 ⟶ KOH + Ba3(PO4)2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Ba(OH)_2 + c_2 K3PO4 ⟶ c_3 KOH + c_4 Ba3(PO4)2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Ba, H, O, K and P: Ba: | c_1 = 3 c_4 H: | 2 c_1 = c_3 O: | 2 c_1 + 4 c_2 = c_3 + 8 c_4 K: | 3 c_2 = c_3 P: | c_2 = 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 6 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 Ba(OH)_2 + 2 K3PO4 ⟶ 6 KOH + Ba3(PO4)2
