Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + CO_2 + MnO_2 + KI ⟶ I_2 + KHCO_3 + MnCO_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 CO_2 + c_3 MnO_2 + c_4 KI ⟶ c_5 I_2 + c_6 KHCO_3 + c_7 MnCO_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, C, Mn, I and K: H: | 2 c_1 = c_6 O: | c_1 + 2 c_2 + 2 c_3 = 3 c_6 + 3 c_7 C: | c_2 = c_6 + c_7 Mn: | c_3 = c_7 I: | c_4 = 2 c_5 K: | c_4 = c_6 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 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 2 c_7 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | H_2O + 3 CO_2 + MnO_2 + 2 KI ⟶ I_2 + 2 KHCO_3 + MnCO_3

Write the balanced chemical equation: H_2O + 3 CO_2 + MnO_2 + 2 KI ⟶ I_2 + 2 KHCO_3 + MnCO_3 Assign stoichiometric numbers, ν_i, using the stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, from the balanced chemical equation in the following manner: ν_i = -c_i for reactants and ν_i = c_i for products: chemical species | c_i | ν_i H_2O | 1 | -1 CO_2 | 3 | -3 MnO_2 | 1 | -1 KI | 2 | -2 I_2 | 1 | 1 KHCO_3 | 2 | 2 MnCO_3 | 1 | 1 The rate term for each chemical species, B_i, is 1/ν_i(Δ[B_i])/(Δt) where [B_i] is the amount concentration and t is time: chemical species | c_i | ν_i | rate term H_2O | 1 | -1 | -(Δ[H2O])/(Δt) CO_2 | 3 | -3 | -1/3 (Δ[CO2])/(Δt) MnO_2 | 1 | -1 | -(Δ[MnO2])/(Δt) KI | 2 | -2 | -1/2 (Δ[KI])/(Δt) I_2 | 1 | 1 | (Δ[I2])/(Δt) KHCO_3 | 2 | 2 | 1/2 (Δ[KHCO3])/(Δt) MnCO_3 | 1 | 1 | (Δ[MnCO3])/(Δt) (for infinitesimal rate of change, replace Δ with d) Set the rate terms equal to each other to arrive at the rate expression: Answer: | | rate = -(Δ[H2O])/(Δt) = -1/3 (Δ[CO2])/(Δt) = -(Δ[MnO2])/(Δt) = -1/2 (Δ[KI])/(Δt) = (Δ[I2])/(Δt) = 1/2 (Δ[KHCO3])/(Δt) = (Δ[MnCO3])/(Δt) (assuming constant volume and no accumulation of intermediates or side products)
