Balanced equation
![Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + + ⟶ + + Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 + c_3 ⟶ c_4 + c_5 + c_6 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, Cl and K: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_4 O: | c_1 + 3 c_3 = 4 c_4 + 4 c_6 S: | c_2 = c_4 + c_6 Cl: | c_3 = 2 c_5 K: | c_3 = 2 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 5/2 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 3/2 c_6 = 3/2 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 5 c_3 = 6 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 3 c_6 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 + 5 + 6 ⟶ 2 + 3 + 3](../image_source/d9c1a8b94dcb9b0b0fb225564b3d906f.png)
