Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Cl_2 + NaOH + Na_2SeO_3 ⟶ H_2O + NaCl + Na_2SeO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Cl_2 + c_2 NaOH + c_3 Na_2SeO_3 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 NaCl + c_6 Na_2SeO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, Na, O and Se: Cl: | 2 c_1 = c_5 H: | c_2 = 2 c_4 Na: | c_2 + 2 c_3 = c_5 + 2 c_6 O: | c_2 + 3 c_3 = c_4 + 4 c_6 Se: | 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | Cl_2 + 2 NaOH + Na_2SeO_3 ⟶ H_2O + 2 NaCl + Na_2SeO_4
