Input interpretation
H_2O water + Cl_2 chlorine + KI potassium iodide ⟶ HCl hydrogen chloride + KIO_3 potassium iodate
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + Cl_2 + KI ⟶ HCl + KIO_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 Cl_2 + c_3 KI ⟶ c_4 HCl + c_5 KIO_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Cl, I and K: H: | 2 c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 = 3 c_5 Cl: | 2 c_2 = c_4 I: | c_3 = c_5 K: | c_3 = c_5 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_1 = 3 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 6 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 3 H_2O + 3 Cl_2 + KI ⟶ 6 HCl + KIO_3
