Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2SO_4 + Zn ⟶ H_2O + SO_2 + H2SO4SO4 + ZnSO4SO4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2SO_4 + c_2 Zn ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 SO_2 + c_5 H2SO4SO4 + c_6 ZnSO4SO4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S and Zn: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 + 2 c_5 O: | 4 c_1 = c_3 + 2 c_4 + 8 c_5 + 8 c_6 S: | c_1 = c_4 + 2 c_5 + 2 c_6 Zn: | c_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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_2 = 1 c_3 = (2 c_1)/3 + 4/3 c_4 = c_1/3 + 2/3 c_5 = c_1/3 - 4/3 c_6 = 1 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_1 = 7 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 7 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 6 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 7 H_2SO_4 + Zn ⟶ 6 H_2O + 3 SO_2 + H2SO4SO4 + ZnSO4SO4
