Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Cl_2 + KBr + C_6H_6 ⟶ KCl + HBr + C_6H_5Br Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Cl_2 + c_2 KBr + c_3 C_6H_6 ⟶ c_4 KCl + c_5 HBr + c_6 C_6H_5Br Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, Br, K, C and H: Cl: | 2 c_1 = c_4 Br: | c_2 = c_5 + c_6 K: | c_2 = c_4 C: | 6 c_3 = 6 c_6 H: | 6 c_3 = c_5 + 5 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 = 2 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | Cl_2 + 2 KBr + C_6H_6 ⟶ 2 KCl + HBr + C_6H_5Br
