Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Mg(OH)_2 + HCOOH ⟶ H_2O + COOMg Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Mg(OH)_2 + c_2 HCOOH ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 COOMg Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, Mg, O and C: H: | 2 c_1 + 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 Mg: | c_1 = c_4 O: | 2 c_1 + 2 c_2 = c_3 + 2 c_4 C: | c_2 = c_4 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 = 2 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | Mg(OH)_2 + HCOOH ⟶ 2 H_2O + COOMg
