Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: C + FeCr_2O_4 ⟶ Fe + CO + Cr Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 C + c_2 FeCr_2O_4 ⟶ c_3 Fe + c_4 CO + c_5 Cr Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for C, Cr, Fe and O: C: | c_1 = c_4 Cr: | c_2 = c_5 Fe: | c_2 = c_3 O: | 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 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 C + FeCr_2O_4 ⟶ Fe + 3 CO + Cr
