Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + H_2SO_4 + KCN ⟶ K_2SO_4 + CO + (NH_4)_2SO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 H_2SO_4 + c_3 KCN ⟶ c_4 K_2SO_4 + c_5 CO + c_6 (NH_4)_2SO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, C, K and N: H: | 2 c_1 + 2 c_2 = 8 c_6 O: | c_1 + 4 c_2 = 4 c_4 + c_5 + 4 c_6 S: | c_2 = c_4 + c_6 C: | c_3 = c_5 K: | c_3 = 2 c_4 N: | c_3 = 2 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 H_2O + 2 H_2SO_4 + 2 KCN ⟶ K_2SO_4 + 2 CO + (NH_4)_2SO_4
