Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HCl + KBrO_3 + Na2HAsO3 ⟶ NaCl + KBr + H_3AsO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HCl + c_2 KBrO_3 + c_3 Na2HAsO3 ⟶ c_4 NaCl + c_5 KBr + c_6 H_3AsO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, Br, K, O, Na and As: Cl: | c_1 = c_4 H: | c_1 + c_3 = 3 c_6 Br: | c_2 = c_5 K: | c_2 = c_5 O: | 3 c_2 + 3 c_3 = 4 c_6 Na: | 2 c_3 = c_4 As: | 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 6 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 6 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 6 HCl + KBrO_3 + 3 Na2HAsO3 ⟶ 6 NaCl + KBr + 3 H_3AsO_4
