Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: I_2 + O_6P_4 ⟶ P_4O_10 + P_2I_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 I_2 + c_2 O_6P_4 ⟶ c_3 P_4O_10 + c_4 P_2I_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for I, O and P: I: | 2 c_1 = 4 c_4 O: | 6 c_2 = 10 c_3 P: | 4 c_2 = 4 c_3 + 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 8/3 c_2 = 5/3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 4/3 Multiply by the least common denominator, 3, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 8 c_2 = 5 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 4 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 8 I_2 + 5 O_6P_4 ⟶ 3 P_4O_10 + 4 P_2I_4
