Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: K_2Cr_2O_7 + HI ⟶ H_2O + I_2 + KI + Cr_1I_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 K_2Cr_2O_7 + c_2 HI ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 I_2 + c_5 KI + c_6 Cr_1I_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cr, K, O, H and I: Cr: | 2 c_1 = c_6 K: | 2 c_1 = c_5 O: | 7 c_1 = c_3 H: | c_2 = 2 c_3 I: | c_2 = 2 c_4 + c_5 + 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 14 c_3 = 7 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | K_2Cr_2O_7 + 14 HI ⟶ 7 H_2O + 3 I_2 + 2 KI + 2 Cr_1I_3
