Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Cl_2 + Ca(OH)_2 ⟶ HCl + CaCl_2 + CaCl_2O_6 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Cl_2 + c_2 Ca(OH)_2 ⟶ c_3 HCl + c_4 CaCl_2 + c_5 CaCl_2O_6 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, Ca, H and O: Cl: | 2 c_1 = c_3 + 2 c_4 + 2 c_5 Ca: | c_2 = c_4 + c_5 H: | 2 c_2 = c_3 O: | 2 c_2 = 6 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_5 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 6 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 6 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 6 Cl_2 + 3 Ca(OH)_2 ⟶ 6 HCl + 2 CaCl_2 + CaCl_2O_6
