Input interpretation
H_2O water + NaOH sodium hydroxide + CrCl_3 chromic chloride + NaBiO_3 sodium bismuthate ⟶ NaCl sodium chloride + Na_2CrO_4 sodium chromate + Bi(OH)3
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + NaOH + CrCl_3 + NaBiO_3 ⟶ NaCl + Na_2CrO_4 + Bi(OH)3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 NaOH + c_3 CrCl_3 + c_4 NaBiO_3 ⟶ c_5 NaCl + c_6 Na_2CrO_4 + c_7 Bi(OH)3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Na, Cl, Cr and Bi: H: | 2 c_1 + c_2 = 3 c_7 O: | c_1 + c_2 + 3 c_4 = 4 c_6 + 3 c_7 Na: | c_2 + c_4 = c_5 + 2 c_6 Cl: | 3 c_3 = c_5 Cr: | c_3 = c_6 Bi: | c_4 = 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 7 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 6 c_6 = 2 c_7 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | H_2O + 7 NaOH + 2 CrCl_3 + 3 NaBiO_3 ⟶ 6 NaCl + 2 Na_2CrO_4 + 3 Bi(OH)3

Write the balanced chemical equation: H_2O + 7 NaOH + 2 CrCl_3 + 3 NaBiO_3 ⟶ 6 NaCl + 2 Na_2CrO_4 + 3 Bi(OH)3 Assign stoichiometric numbers, ν_i, using the stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, from the balanced chemical equation in the following manner: ν_i = -c_i for reactants and ν_i = c_i for products: chemical species | c_i | ν_i H_2O | 1 | -1 NaOH | 7 | -7 CrCl_3 | 2 | -2 NaBiO_3 | 3 | -3 NaCl | 6 | 6 Na_2CrO_4 | 2 | 2 Bi(OH)3 | 3 | 3 The rate term for each chemical species, B_i, is 1/ν_i(Δ[B_i])/(Δt) where [B_i] is the amount concentration and t is time: chemical species | c_i | ν_i | rate term H_2O | 1 | -1 | -(Δ[H2O])/(Δt) NaOH | 7 | -7 | -1/7 (Δ[NaOH])/(Δt) CrCl_3 | 2 | -2 | -1/2 (Δ[CrCl3])/(Δt) NaBiO_3 | 3 | -3 | -1/3 (Δ[NaBiO3])/(Δt) NaCl | 6 | 6 | 1/6 (Δ[NaCl])/(Δt) Na_2CrO_4 | 2 | 2 | 1/2 (Δ[Na2CrO4])/(Δt) Bi(OH)3 | 3 | 3 | 1/3 (Δ[Bi(OH)3])/(Δt) (for infinitesimal rate of change, replace Δ with d) Set the rate terms equal to each other to arrive at the rate expression: Answer: | | rate = -(Δ[H2O])/(Δt) = -1/7 (Δ[NaOH])/(Δt) = -1/2 (Δ[CrCl3])/(Δt) = -1/3 (Δ[NaBiO3])/(Δt) = 1/6 (Δ[NaCl])/(Δt) = 1/2 (Δ[Na2CrO4])/(Δt) = 1/3 (Δ[Bi(OH)3])/(Δt) (assuming constant volume and no accumulation of intermediates or side products)
