Balanced equation

To keep the coefficients small, the arbitrary value is ordinarily one. For instance, set c_6 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 H_2SO_4 + 2 KMnO_4 + 2 H_2S ⟶ 4 H_2O + 2 MnSO_4 + K_2S_2O_4
