Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NH_3 + KClO ⟶ H_2O + KCl + N_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NH_3 + c_2 KClO ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 KCl + c_5 N_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, K, Cl and O: H: | 3 c_1 = 2 c_3 N: | c_1 = 2 c_5 K: | c_2 = c_4 Cl: | c_2 = c_4 O: | 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_5 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 NH_3 + 3 KClO ⟶ 3 H_2O + 3 KCl + N_2
