Input interpretation
potassium permanganate + soda ash + chromic chloride ⟶ carbon dioxide + sodium chloride + potassium chloride + manganese dioxide + sodium chromate
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + + ⟶ + + + + Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 + c_3 ⟶ c_4 + c_5 + c_6 + c_7 + c_8 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for K, Mn, O, C, Na, Cl and Cr: K: | c_1 = c_6 Mn: | c_1 = c_7 O: | 4 c_1 + 3 c_2 = 2 c_4 + 2 c_7 + 4 c_8 C: | c_2 = c_4 Na: | 2 c_2 = c_5 + 2 c_8 Cl: | 3 c_3 = c_5 + c_6 Cr: | c_3 = c_8 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 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 1 c_7 = 1 c_8 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | + 2 + ⟶ 2 + 2 + + +
