Input interpretation
KOH potassium hydroxide + MnSO_4 manganese(II) sulfate + H_2O_2 hydrogen peroxide ⟶ H_2O water + K_2SO_4 potassium sulfate + MnO_2 manganese dioxide
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KOH + MnSO_4 + H_2O_2 ⟶ H_2O + K_2SO_4 + MnO_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KOH + c_2 MnSO_4 + c_3 H_2O_2 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 K_2SO_4 + c_6 MnO_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, K, O, Mn and S: H: | c_1 + 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 K: | c_1 = 2 c_5 O: | c_1 + 4 c_2 + 2 c_3 = c_4 + 4 c_5 + 2 c_6 Mn: | c_2 = c_6 S: | c_2 = 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 KOH + MnSO_4 + H_2O_2 ⟶ 2 H_2O + K_2SO_4 + MnO_2
