Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HF + Sc(OH)_3 ⟶ H_2O + ScF_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HF + c_2 Sc(OH)_3 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 ScF_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for F, H, O and Sc: F: | c_1 = 3 c_4 H: | c_1 + 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 O: | 3 c_2 = c_3 Sc: | 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 HF + Sc(OH)_3 ⟶ 3 H_2O + ScF_3
