Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KMnO_4 + HO_2CCO_2H ⟶ H_2O + CO_2 + K_2O + MnO3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KMnO_4 + c_2 HO_2CCO_2H ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 CO_2 + c_5 K_2O + c_6 MnO3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for K, Mn, O, C and H: K: | c_1 = 2 c_5 Mn: | c_1 = c_6 O: | 4 c_1 + 4 c_2 = c_3 + 2 c_4 + c_5 + 3 c_6 C: | 2 c_2 = c_4 H: | 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 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 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 KMnO_4 + HO_2CCO_2H ⟶ H_2O + 2 CO_2 + K_2O + 2 MnO3
