Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaOH + Br_2 + CrCl_3 ⟶ H_2O + NaCl + NaBr + Na_2CrO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaOH + c_2 Br_2 + c_3 CrCl_3 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 NaCl + c_6 NaBr + c_7 Na_2CrO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, Na, O, Br, Cl and Cr: H: | c_1 = 2 c_4 Na: | c_1 = c_5 + c_6 + 2 c_7 O: | c_1 = c_4 + 4 c_7 Br: | 2 c_2 = c_6 Cl: | 3 c_3 = c_5 Cr: | c_3 = c_7 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 8 c_2 = 3/2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 3 c_6 = 3 c_7 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 16 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 8 c_5 = 6 c_6 = 6 c_7 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 16 NaOH + 3 Br_2 + 2 CrCl_3 ⟶ 8 H_2O + 6 NaCl + 6 NaBr + 2 Na_2CrO_4
