Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KOH + H_2CrO_4 ⟶ H_2O + K_2CrO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KOH + c_2 H_2CrO_4 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 K_2CrO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, K, O and Cr: H: | c_1 + 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 K: | c_1 = 2 c_4 O: | c_1 + 4 c_2 = c_3 + 4 c_4 Cr: | c_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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 KOH + H_2CrO_4 ⟶ 2 H_2O + K_2CrO_4
