Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + Mn3C ⟶ H_2 + CH_4 + Mn(OH)_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 Mn3C ⟶ c_3 H_2 + c_4 CH_4 + c_5 Mn(OH)_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Mn and C: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 + 4 c_4 + 2 c_5 O: | c_1 = 2 c_5 Mn: | 3 c_2 = c_5 C: | 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 = 6 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 6 H_2O + Mn3C ⟶ H_2 + CH_4 + 3 Mn(OH)_2
