Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Cl_2 + KOH + Bi_2O_3 ⟶ H_2O + KCl + Bi2O5 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Cl_2 + c_2 KOH + c_3 Bi_2O_3 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 KCl + c_6 Bi2O5 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, K, O and Bi: Cl: | 2 c_1 = c_5 H: | c_2 = 2 c_4 K: | c_2 = c_5 O: | c_2 + 3 c_3 = c_4 + 5 c_6 Bi: | 2 c_3 = 2 c_6 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_1 = 2 c_2 = 4 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 4 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 Cl_2 + 4 KOH + Bi_2O_3 ⟶ 2 H_2O + 4 KCl + Bi2O5
