Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: KMnO_4 + HCHO ⟶ H_2O + CO_2 + K_2CO_3 + Mn Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 KMnO_4 + c_2 HCHO ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 CO_2 + c_5 K_2CO_3 + c_6 Mn Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for K, Mn, O, C and H: K: | c_1 = 2 c_5 Mn: | c_1 = c_6 O: | 4 c_1 + c_2 = c_3 + 2 c_4 + 3 c_5 C: | c_2 = c_4 + c_5 H: | 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 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_5 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 7/2 c_3 = 7/2 c_4 = 5/2 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 2 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 4 c_2 = 7 c_3 = 7 c_4 = 5 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 4 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 4 KMnO_4 + 7 HCHO ⟶ 7 H_2O + 5 CO_2 + 2 K_2CO_3 + 4 Mn
