Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HF + B(OH)_3 ⟶ H_2O + HBF_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HF + c_2 B(OH)_3 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 HBF_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for F, H, B and O: F: | c_1 = 4 c_4 H: | c_1 + 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 + c_4 B: | c_2 = c_4 O: | 3 c_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_1 = 4 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 4 HF + B(OH)_3 ⟶ 3 H_2O + HBF_4
