Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KI + HgCl_2 ⟶ KCl + HgI_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KI + c_2 HgCl_2 ⟶ c_3 KCl + c_4 HgI_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for I, K, Cl and Hg: I: | c_1 = 2 c_4 K: | c_1 = c_3 Cl: | 2 c_2 = c_3 Hg: | 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 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 KI + HgCl_2 ⟶ 2 KCl + HgI_2
