NaOH sodium hydroxide + I_2 iodine + CH_3CHO acetaldehyde ⟶ H_2O water + NaI sodium iodide + CHI_3 iodoform + CH_3COONa sodium acetate

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaOH + I_2 + CH_3CHO ⟶ H_2O + NaI + CHI_3 + CH_3COONa Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaOH + c_2 I_2 + c_3 CH_3CHO ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 NaI + c_6 CHI_3 + c_7 CH_3COONa Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, Na, O, I and C: H: | c_1 + 4 c_3 = 2 c_4 + c_6 + 3 c_7 Na: | c_1 = c_5 + c_7 O: | c_1 + c_3 = c_4 + 2 c_7 I: | 2 c_2 = c_5 + 3 c_6 C: | 2 c_3 = c_6 + 2 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_7 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_3 = c_2/3 + 2/3 c_4 = c_2/3 + 5/3 c_5 = 2 c_6 = (2 c_2)/3 - 2/3 c_7 = 1 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_2 = 4 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 4 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 2 c_7 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 3 NaOH + 4 I_2 + 2 CH_3CHO ⟶ 3 H_2O + 2 NaI + 2 CHI_3 + CH_3COONa
