Balanced equation
![Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KOH + HF ⟶ H_2O + KF Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KOH + c_2 HF ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 KF Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, K, O and F: H: | c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_3 K: | c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 = c_3 F: | 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | KOH + HF ⟶ H_2O + KF](../image_source/6fa9d8ce91c75a03d3af2883cc0e9abd.png)
