Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: CuSO_4 + KI ⟶ K_2SO_4 + I_2 + Cu2I2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 CuSO_4 + c_2 KI ⟶ c_3 K_2SO_4 + c_4 I_2 + c_5 Cu2I2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cu, O, S, I and K: Cu: | c_1 = 2 c_5 O: | 4 c_1 = 4 c_3 S: | c_1 = c_3 I: | c_2 = 2 c_4 + 2 c_5 K: | c_2 = 2 c_3 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 4 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 CuSO_4 + 4 KI ⟶ 2 K_2SO_4 + I_2 + Cu2I2
