Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + Si + (OH)^- ⟶ H_2 + (SiO_3^(2-))_n Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 Si + c_3 OH^- ⟶ c_4 H_2 + c_5 ((SiO_3)^2-)_n Set the number of atoms and the charges in the reactants equal to the number of atoms and the charges in the products for H, O and Si: H: | 2 c_1 + c_3 = 2 c_4 O: | c_1 + c_3 = 3 c_5 Si: | c_2 = c_5 Charges: | -c_3 = -2 c_5 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 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | H_2O + Si + 2 OH^- ⟶ 2 H_2 + ((SiO_3)^2-)_n
