Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: I_2 + NaBr ⟶ Br_2 + NaI Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 I_2 + c_2 NaBr ⟶ c_3 Br_2 + c_4 NaI Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for I, Br and Na: I: | 2 c_1 = c_4 Br: | c_2 = 2 c_3 Na: | 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 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | I_2 + 2 NaBr ⟶ Br_2 + 2 NaI
