Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2SO_4 + KMnO_4 + K4Fe(CN)6 ⟶ H_2O + HNO_3 + CO_2 + MnSO_4 + Fe_2(SO_4)_3·xH_2O + KHSO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2SO_4 + c_2 KMnO_4 + c_3 K4Fe(CN)6 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 HNO_3 + c_6 CO_2 + c_7 MnSO_4 + c_8 Fe_2(SO_4)_3·xH_2O + c_9 KHSO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, K, Mn, Fe, C and N: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_4 + c_5 + c_9 O: | 4 c_1 + 4 c_2 = c_4 + 3 c_5 + 2 c_6 + 4 c_7 + 12 c_8 + 4 c_9 S: | c_1 = c_7 + 3 c_8 + c_9 K: | c_2 + 4 c_3 = c_9 Mn: | c_2 = c_7 Fe: | c_3 = 2 c_8 C: | 6 c_3 = c_6 N: | 6 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_8 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 299/5 c_2 = 122/5 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 188/5 c_5 = 12 c_6 = 12 c_7 = 122/5 c_8 = 1 c_9 = 162/5 Multiply by the least common denominator, 5, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 299 c_2 = 122 c_3 = 10 c_4 = 188 c_5 = 60 c_6 = 60 c_7 = 122 c_8 = 5 c_9 = 162 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 299 H_2SO_4 + 122 KMnO_4 + 10 K4Fe(CN)6 ⟶ 188 H_2O + 60 HNO_3 + 60 CO_2 + 122 MnSO_4 + 5 Fe_2(SO_4)_3·xH_2O + 162 KHSO_4
