Input interpretation
sulfuric acid + potassium acetate ⟶ potassium sulfate + acetic acid
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + ⟶ + Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 ⟶ c_3 + c_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, C and K: H: | 2 c_1 + 3 c_2 = 4 c_4 O: | 4 c_1 + 2 c_2 = 4 c_3 + 2 c_4 S: | c_1 = c_3 C: | 2 c_2 = 2 c_4 K: | 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | + 2 ⟶ + 2
