Input interpretation

potassium hydroxide + potassium chlorate + chromic chloride ⟶ water + potassium chloride + potassium chromate
potassium hydroxide + potassium chlorate + chromic chloride ⟶ water + potassium chloride + potassium chromate

Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically:  + + ⟶ + +  Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 + c_3 ⟶ c_4 + c_5 + c_6  Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, K, O, Cl and Cr: H: | c_1 = 2 c_4 K: | c_1 + c_2 = c_5 + 2 c_6 O: | c_1 + 3 c_2 = c_4 + 4 c_6 Cl: | c_2 + 3 c_3 = c_5 Cr: | 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 10 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 5 c_5 = 7 c_6 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 10 + + 2 ⟶ 5 + 7 + 2
