Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + O_2 + NaOH + FeCl_2 ⟶ NaCl + Fe(OH)_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 O_2 + c_3 NaOH + c_4 FeCl_2 ⟶ c_5 NaCl + c_6 Fe(OH)_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Na, Cl and Fe: H: | 2 c_1 + c_3 = 3 c_6 O: | c_1 + 2 c_2 + c_3 = 3 c_6 Na: | c_3 = c_5 Cl: | 2 c_4 = c_5 Fe: | c_4 = c_6 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 8 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 8 c_6 = 4 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 H_2O + O_2 + 8 NaOH + 4 FeCl_2 ⟶ 8 NaCl + 4 Fe(OH)_3
