Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O_2 + AuCl_3 ⟶ O_2 + HCl + Au Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O_2 + c_2 AuCl_3 ⟶ c_3 O_2 + c_4 HCl + c_5 Au Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Au and Cl: H: | 2 c_1 = c_4 O: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 Au: | c_2 = c_5 Cl: | 3 c_2 = c_4 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 = 3/2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3/2 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 6 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 H_2O_2 + 2 AuCl_3 ⟶ 3 O_2 + 6 HCl + 2 Au
