Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: BaCl_2 + H_2CO_3 ⟶ HCl + BaCO_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 BaCl_2 + c_2 H_2CO_3 ⟶ c_3 HCl + c_4 BaCO_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Ba, Cl, C, H and O: Ba: | c_1 = c_4 Cl: | 2 c_1 = c_3 C: | c_2 = c_4 H: | 2 c_2 = c_3 O: | 3 c_2 = 3 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 = 2 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | BaCl_2 + H_2CO_3 ⟶ 2 HCl + BaCO_3
