Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + KBrO_3 + Na_2C_2O_4 ⟶ NaOH + CO_2 + KBr Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 KBrO_3 + c_3 Na_2C_2O_4 ⟶ c_4 NaOH + c_5 CO_2 + c_6 KBr Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Br, K, C and Na: H: | 2 c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 + 3 c_2 + 4 c_3 = c_4 + 2 c_5 Br: | c_2 = c_6 K: | c_2 = c_6 C: | 2 c_3 = c_5 Na: | 2 c_3 = 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 = 3 c_4 = 6 c_5 = 6 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 H_2O + KBrO_3 + 3 Na_2C_2O_4 ⟶ 6 NaOH + 6 CO_2 + KBr
