Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O_2 + Ce(SO_4)_2 ⟶ H_2SO_4 + O_2 + Ce_2(SO_4)_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O_2 + c_2 Ce(SO_4)_2 ⟶ c_3 H_2SO_4 + c_4 O_2 + c_5 Ce_2(SO_4)_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Ce and S: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 O: | 2 c_1 + 8 c_2 = 4 c_3 + 2 c_4 + 12 c_5 Ce: | c_2 = 2 c_5 S: | 2 c_2 = c_3 + 3 c_5 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_2O_2 + 2 Ce(SO_4)_2 ⟶ H_2SO_4 + O_2 + Ce_2(SO_4)_3
