Input interpretation
NaOH sodium hydroxide + HI hydrogen iodide ⟶ H_2O water + NaI sodium iodide
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaOH + HI ⟶ H_2O + NaI Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaOH + c_2 HI ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 NaI Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, Na, O and I: H: | c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_3 Na: | c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 = c_3 I: | c_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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | NaOH + HI ⟶ H_2O + NaI
