Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Cl_2 + CH_3Cl ⟶ HCl + CH_2Cl_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Cl_2 + c_2 CH_3Cl ⟶ c_3 HCl + c_4 CH_2Cl_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, C and H: Cl: | 2 c_1 + c_2 = c_3 + 2 c_4 C: | c_2 = c_4 H: | 3 c_2 = c_3 + 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | Cl_2 + CH_3Cl ⟶ HCl + CH_2Cl_2
