Input interpretation
HCl (hydrogen chloride) + AgI (silver(I) iodide) ⟶ HI (hydrogen iodide) + AgCl (silver chloride)
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HCl + AgI ⟶ HI + AgCl Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HCl + c_2 AgI ⟶ c_3 HI + c_4 AgCl Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, Ag and I: Cl: | c_1 = c_4 H: | c_1 = c_3 Ag: | c_2 = c_4 I: | c_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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | HCl + AgI ⟶ HI + AgCl
