Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KOH + Br_2 + Bi_2O_3 ⟶ H_2O + KBr + KBiO3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KOH + c_2 Br_2 + c_3 Bi_2O_3 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 KBr + c_6 KBiO3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, K, O, Br and Bi: H: | c_1 = 2 c_4 K: | c_1 = c_5 + c_6 O: | c_1 + 3 c_3 = c_4 + 3 c_6 Br: | 2 c_2 = c_5 Bi: | 2 c_3 = c_6 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 6 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 4 c_6 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 6 KOH + 2 Br_2 + Bi_2O_3 ⟶ 3 H_2O + 4 KBr + 2 KBiO3
