Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2SO_4 + KMnO_4 + FeSO_4 ⟶ H_2O + K_2SO_4 + MnSO_4 + Fe_2(SO_4)_3·xH_2O Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2SO_4 + c_2 KMnO_4 + c_3 FeSO_4 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 K_2SO_4 + c_6 MnSO_4 + c_7 Fe_2(SO_4)_3·xH_2O Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, K, Mn and Fe: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_4 O: | 4 c_1 + 4 c_2 + 4 c_3 = c_4 + 4 c_5 + 4 c_6 + 12 c_7 S: | c_1 + c_3 = c_5 + c_6 + 3 c_7 K: | c_2 = 2 c_5 Mn: | c_2 = c_6 Fe: | c_3 = 2 c_7 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_5 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 8 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 10 c_4 = 8 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 2 c_7 = 5 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 8 H_2SO_4 + 2 KMnO_4 + 10 FeSO_4 ⟶ 8 H_2O + K_2SO_4 + 2 MnSO_4 + 5 Fe_2(SO_4)_3·xH_2O
