Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KOH + KClO_3 + Cr_2O_3 ⟶ H_2O + Cl_2 + K_2CrO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KOH + c_2 KClO_3 + c_3 Cr_2O_3 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 Cl_2 + c_6 K_2CrO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, K, O, Cl and Cr: H: | c_1 = 2 c_4 K: | c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_6 O: | c_1 + 3 c_2 + 3 c_3 = c_4 + 4 c_6 Cl: | c_2 = 2 c_5 Cr: | 2 c_3 = c_6 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_5 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 14/3 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 5/3 c_4 = 7/3 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 10/3 Multiply by the least common denominator, 3, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 14 c_2 = 6 c_3 = 5 c_4 = 7 c_5 = 3 c_6 = 10 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 14 KOH + 6 KClO_3 + 5 Cr_2O_3 ⟶ 7 H_2O + 3 Cl_2 + 10 K_2CrO_4
