Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HCl + KI + HNO_2 ⟶ H_2O + I_2 + KCl + N_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HCl + c_2 KI + c_3 HNO_2 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 I_2 + c_6 KCl + c_7 N_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, I, K, N and O: Cl: | c_1 = c_6 H: | c_1 + c_3 = 2 c_4 I: | c_2 = 2 c_5 K: | c_2 = c_6 N: | c_3 = 2 c_7 O: | 2 c_3 = 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_7 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 6 c_2 = 6 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 3 c_6 = 6 c_7 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 6 HCl + 6 KI + 2 HNO_2 ⟶ 4 H_2O + 3 I_2 + 6 KCl + N_2
