Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_3PO_4 + HI ⟶ H_2O + I_2 + HP(O)(OH)_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_3PO_4 + c_2 HI ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 I_2 + c_5 HP(O)(OH)_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, P and I: H: | 3 c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_3 + 3 c_5 O: | 4 c_1 = c_3 + 3 c_5 P: | c_1 = c_5 I: | c_2 = 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 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | H_3PO_4 + 2 HI ⟶ H_2O + I_2 + HP(O)(OH)_2
