Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HCl + K_2CrO_4 ⟶ H_2O + KCl + K_2Cr_2O_7 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HCl + c_2 K_2CrO_4 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 KCl + c_5 K_2Cr_2O_7 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, Cr, K and O: Cl: | c_1 = c_4 H: | c_1 = 2 c_3 Cr: | c_2 = 2 c_5 K: | 2 c_2 = c_4 + 2 c_5 O: | 4 c_2 = c_3 + 7 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 HCl + 2 K_2CrO_4 ⟶ H_2O + 2 KCl + K_2Cr_2O_7
