Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + I_2 + HOCl ⟶ HCl + HIO_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 I_2 + c_3 HOCl ⟶ c_4 HCl + c_5 HIO_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, I and Cl: H: | 2 c_1 + c_3 = c_4 + c_5 O: | c_1 + c_3 = 3 c_5 I: | 2 c_2 = c_5 Cl: | c_3 = 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 = 1 c_3 = 5 c_4 = 5 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | H_2O + I_2 + 5 HOCl ⟶ 5 HCl + 2 HIO_3
