Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaOH + ZnCl_2 ⟶ Zn(OH)_2 + Na2Cl2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaOH + c_2 ZnCl_2 ⟶ c_3 Zn(OH)_2 + c_4 Na2Cl2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, Na, O, Cl and Zn: H: | c_1 = 2 c_3 Na: | c_1 = 2 c_4 O: | c_1 = 2 c_3 Cl: | 2 c_2 = 2 c_4 Zn: | c_2 = 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 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 NaOH + ZnCl_2 ⟶ Zn(OH)_2 + Na2Cl2
