Input interpretation
hydrogen chloride + aluminum ⟶ hydrogen + AlCl
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + ⟶ + AlCl Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 ⟶ c_3 + c_4 AlCl Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H and Al: Cl: | c_1 = c_4 H: | c_1 = 2 c_3 Al: | 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 + 2 ⟶ + 2 AlCl
