Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + Mg_2Si ⟶ Mg(OH)_2 + SiH_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 Mg_2Si ⟶ c_3 Mg(OH)_2 + c_4 SiH_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Mg and Si: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 + 4 c_4 O: | c_1 = 2 c_3 Mg: | 2 c_2 = c_3 Si: | 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 4 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 4 H_2O + Mg_2Si ⟶ 2 Mg(OH)_2 + SiH_4
