Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: FeCl_2 + Ba(OH)_2 ⟶ BaCl_2 + Fe(OH)_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 FeCl_2 + c_2 Ba(OH)_2 ⟶ c_3 BaCl_2 + c_4 Fe(OH)_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, Fe, Ba, H and O: Cl: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 Fe: | c_1 = c_4 Ba: | c_2 = c_3 H: | 2 c_2 = 2 c_4 O: | 2 c_2 = 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | FeCl_2 + Ba(OH)_2 ⟶ BaCl_2 + Fe(OH)_2
