Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + K2S + HClO3 ⟶ S + KOH + KCl Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 K2S + c_3 HClO3 ⟶ c_4 S + c_5 KOH + c_6 KCl Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, K, S and Cl: H: | 2 c_1 + c_3 = c_5 O: | c_1 + 3 c_3 = c_5 K: | 2 c_2 = c_5 + c_6 S: | c_2 = c_4 Cl: | c_3 = 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 5 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 H_2O + 3 K2S + HClO3 ⟶ 3 S + 5 KOH + KCl
