Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2SO_4 + KMnO_4 + H_2O_2 ⟶ H_2O + O_2 + K_2SO_4 + MnSO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2SO_4 + c_2 KMnO_4 + c_3 H_2O_2 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 O_2 + c_6 K_2SO_4 + c_7 MnSO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, K and Mn: H: | 2 c_1 + 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 O: | 4 c_1 + 4 c_2 + 2 c_3 = c_4 + 2 c_5 + 4 c_6 + 4 c_7 S: | c_1 = c_6 + c_7 K: | c_2 = 2 c_6 Mn: | c_2 = c_7 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_2 = (2 c_1)/3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = c_1 + 1 c_5 = (5 c_1)/6 + 1/2 c_6 = c_1/3 c_7 = (2 c_1)/3 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_1 = 3 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 3 c_6 = 1 c_7 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 H_2SO_4 + 2 KMnO_4 + H_2O_2 ⟶ 4 H_2O + 3 O_2 + K_2SO_4 + 2 MnSO_4
