Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaOH + I_2 + CH_3COCH_3 ⟶ H_2O + NaI + CHI_3 + HCOONa Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaOH + c_2 I_2 + c_3 CH_3COCH_3 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 NaI + c_6 CHI_3 + c_7 HCOONa Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, Na, O, I and C: H: | c_1 + 6 c_3 = 2 c_4 + c_6 + c_7 Na: | c_1 = c_5 + c_7 O: | c_1 + c_3 = c_4 + 2 c_7 I: | 2 c_2 = c_5 + 3 c_6 C: | 3 c_3 = c_6 + c_7 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_2 = 5 c_3 = 1 c_4 = c_1/2 + 3/2 c_5 = (3 c_1)/4 + 1/4 c_6 = 13/4 - c_1/4 c_7 = c_1/4 - 1/4 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_2 = 10 c_3 = 2 c_4 = c_1/2 + 3 c_5 = (3 c_1)/4 + 1/2 c_6 = 13/2 - c_1/4 c_7 = c_1/4 - 1/2 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_1 = 14 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 14 c_2 = 10 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 10 c_5 = 11 c_6 = 3 c_7 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 14 NaOH + 10 I_2 + 2 CH_3COCH_3 ⟶ 10 H_2O + 11 NaI + 3 CHI_3 + 3 HCOONa
