Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3 + C_2H_5I ⟶ HI + CH_3(CH_2)_4CH_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3 + c_2 C_2H_5I ⟶ c_3 HI + c_4 CH_3(CH_2)_4CH_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for C, H and I: C: | 4 c_1 + 2 c_2 = 6 c_4 H: | 10 c_1 + 5 c_2 = c_3 + 14 c_4 I: | c_2 = c_3 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: | | CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3 + C_2H_5I ⟶ HI + CH_3(CH_2)_4CH_3
