Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: O_2 + CH_3(CH_2)_3OH ⟶ H_2O + C + CO Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 O_2 + c_2 CH_3(CH_2)_3OH ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 C + c_5 CO Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for O, C and H: O: | 2 c_1 + c_2 = c_3 + c_5 C: | 4 c_2 = c_4 + c_5 H: | 10 c_2 = 2 c_3 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_2 = 1 c_3 = 5 c_4 = 8 - 2 c_1 c_5 = 2 c_1 - 4 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_1 = 3 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 5 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 O_2 + CH_3(CH_2)_3OH ⟶ 5 H_2O + 2 C + 2 CO
