Balanced equation
![Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HgSO2 ⟶ SO_2 + Hg Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HgSO2 ⟶ c_2 SO_2 + c_3 Hg Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Hg, S and O: Hg: | c_1 = c_3 S: | c_1 = c_2 O: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_2 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.
