Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2SO_4 + HI + KIO_3 ⟶ H_2O + K_2SO_4 + I_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2SO_4 + c_2 HI + c_3 KIO_3 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 K_2SO_4 + c_6 I_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, I and K: H: | 2 c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_4 O: | 4 c_1 + 3 c_3 = c_4 + 4 c_5 S: | c_1 = c_5 I: | c_2 + c_3 = 2 c_6 K: | c_3 = 2 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 = 10 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 6 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 6 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | H_2SO_4 + 10 HI + 2 KIO_3 ⟶ 6 H_2O + K_2SO_4 + 6 I_2
