Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: O_2 + Cl_2 + CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3 ⟶ H_2O + CO_2 + CCl_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 O_2 + c_2 Cl_2 + c_3 CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 CO_2 + c_6 CCl_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for O, Cl, C and H: O: | 2 c_1 = c_4 + 2 c_5 Cl: | 2 c_2 = 4 c_6 C: | 4 c_3 = c_5 + c_6 H: | 10 c_3 = 2 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_2 = 13 - 2 c_1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 5 c_5 = c_1 - 5/2 c_6 = 13/2 - c_1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_2 = 26 - 2 c_1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 10 c_5 = c_1 - 5 c_6 = 13 - c_1 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_1 = 9 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 9 c_2 = 8 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 10 c_5 = 4 c_6 = 4 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 9 O_2 + 8 Cl_2 + 2 CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3 ⟶ 10 H_2O + 4 CO_2 + 4 CCl_4
