Input interpretation
potassium thiocyanate + iron(III) sulfate hydrate ⟶ potassium sulfate + iron(III) thiocyanate
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 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for C, K, N, S, Fe and O: C: | c_1 = 3 c_4 K: | c_1 = 2 c_3 N: | c_1 = 3 c_4 S: | c_1 + 3 c_2 = c_3 + 3 c_4 Fe: | 2 c_2 = c_4 O: | 12 c_2 = 4 c_3 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 = 6 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 6 + ⟶ 3 + 2
