Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + KOH + Al ⟶ H_2 + KAlO2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 KOH + c_3 Al ⟶ c_4 H_2 + c_5 KAlO2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, K and Al: H: | 2 c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_4 O: | c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_5 K: | c_2 = c_5 Al: | c_3 = c_5 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 = 3/2 c_5 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 H_2O + 2 KOH + 2 Al ⟶ 3 H_2 + 2 KAlO2
