Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O_2 + Ca(ClO)2 ⟶ H_2O + O_2 + CaCl_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O_2 + c_2 Ca(ClO)2 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 O_2 + c_5 CaCl_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Ca and Cl: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 O: | 2 c_1 + 2 c_2 = c_3 + 2 c_4 Ca: | c_2 = c_5 Cl: | 2 c_2 = 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_2 = 1 c_3 = c_1 c_4 = c_1/2 + 1 c_5 = 1 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_1 = 2 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 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: |   | 2 H_2O_2 + Ca(ClO)2 ⟶ 2 H_2O + 2 O_2 + CaCl_2
