Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HCl + H_2O_2 + CuS ⟶ H_2O + S + CuCl_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HCl + c_2 H_2O_2 + c_3 CuS ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 S + c_6 CuCl_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, O, Cu and S: Cl: | c_1 = 2 c_6 H: | c_1 + 2 c_2 = 2 c_4 O: | 2 c_2 = c_4 Cu: | c_3 = c_6 S: | 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_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 HCl + H_2O_2 + CuS ⟶ 2 H_2O + S + CuCl_2
