Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: K_2SO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 + CO ⟶ CaSO_4 + HCOOK Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 K_2SO_4 + c_2 Ca(OH)_2 + c_3 CO ⟶ c_4 CaSO_4 + c_5 HCOOK Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for K, O, S, Ca, H and C: K: | 2 c_1 = c_5 O: | 4 c_1 + 2 c_2 + c_3 = 4 c_4 + 2 c_5 S: | c_1 = c_4 Ca: | c_2 = c_4 H: | 2 c_2 = c_5 C: | 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 = 2 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | K_2SO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 + 2 CO ⟶ CaSO_4 + 2 HCOOK
