Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KOH + CrN_3O_9 ⟶ KNO_3 + Cr(OH)3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KOH + c_2 CrN_3O_9 ⟶ c_3 KNO_3 + c_4 Cr(OH)3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, K, O, Cr and N: H: | c_1 = 3 c_4 K: | c_1 = c_3 O: | c_1 + 9 c_2 = 3 c_3 + 3 c_4 Cr: | c_2 = c_4 N: | 3 c_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 = 3 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 KOH + CrN_3O_9 ⟶ 3 KNO_3 + Cr(OH)3
