Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Fe(OH)_3 + KSCN ⟶ KOH + C_3N_3S_3Fe_1 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Fe(OH)_3 + c_2 KSCN ⟶ c_3 KOH + c_4 C_3N_3S_3Fe_1 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Fe, H, O, C, K, N and S: Fe: | c_1 = c_4 H: | 3 c_1 = c_3 O: | 3 c_1 = c_3 C: | c_2 = 3 c_4 K: | c_2 = c_3 N: | c_2 = 3 c_4 S: | 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 = 3 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | Fe(OH)_3 + 3 KSCN ⟶ 3 KOH + C_3N_3S_3Fe_1
