Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + SO_2 + K_2Cr_2O_7 ⟶ K_2SO_4 + HO_5SCr Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 SO_2 + c_3 K_2Cr_2O_7 ⟶ c_4 K_2SO_4 + c_5 HO_5SCr Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, Cr and K: H: | 2 c_1 = c_5 O: | c_1 + 2 c_2 + 7 c_3 = 4 c_4 + 5 c_5 S: | c_2 = c_4 + c_5 Cr: | 2 c_3 = c_5 K: | 2 c_3 = 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 = 3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | H_2O + 3 SO_2 + K_2Cr_2O_7 ⟶ K_2SO_4 + 2 HO_5SCr
