Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KMnO_4 + FeCl_2 + H_2SO_4 ⟶ H_2O + Cl_2 + K_2SO_4 + MnSO_4 + Fe_2(SO_4)_3·xH_2O Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KMnO_4 + c_2 FeCl_2 + c_3 H_2SO_4 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 Cl_2 + c_6 K_2SO_4 + c_7 MnSO_4 + c_8 Fe_2(SO_4)_3·xH_2O Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for K, Mn, O, Cl, Fe, H and S: K: | c_1 = 2 c_6 Mn: | c_1 = c_7 O: | 4 c_1 + 4 c_3 = c_4 + 4 c_6 + 4 c_7 + 12 c_8 Cl: | 2 c_2 = 2 c_5 Fe: | c_2 = 2 c_8 H: | 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 S: | c_3 = c_6 + c_7 + 3 c_8 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_6 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 10/3 c_3 = 8 c_4 = 8 c_5 = 10/3 c_6 = 1 c_7 = 2 c_8 = 5/3 Multiply by the least common denominator, 3, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 6 c_2 = 10 c_3 = 24 c_4 = 24 c_5 = 10 c_6 = 3 c_7 = 6 c_8 = 5 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 6 KMnO_4 + 10 FeCl_2 + 24 H_2SO_4 ⟶ 24 H_2O + 10 Cl_2 + 3 K_2SO_4 + 6 MnSO_4 + 5 Fe_2(SO_4)_3·xH_2O
