Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + Na_2CO_3 + CuCl_2 ⟶ CO_2 + NaCl + Cu(OH)_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 Na_2CO_3 + c_3 CuCl_2 ⟶ c_4 CO_2 + c_5 NaCl + c_6 Cu(OH)_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, C, Na, Cl and Cu: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_6 O: | c_1 + 3 c_2 = 2 c_4 + 2 c_6 C: | c_2 = c_4 Na: | 2 c_2 = c_5 Cl: | 2 c_3 = c_5 Cu: | c_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 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | H_2O + Na_2CO_3 + CuCl_2 ⟶ CO_2 + 2 NaCl + Cu(OH)_2
