Input interpretation
H_2 hydrogen + CH_2=CHCH=CH_2 1, 3-butadiene ⟶ (CH_3)_2C=CH_2 isobutylene
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2 + CH_2=CHCH=CH_2 ⟶ (CH_3)_2C=CH_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2 + c_2 CH_2=CHCH=CH_2 ⟶ c_3 (CH_3)_2C=CH_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H and C: H: | 2 c_1 + 6 c_2 = 8 c_3 C: | 4 c_2 = 4 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 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | H_2 + CH_2=CHCH=CH_2 ⟶ (CH_3)_2C=CH_2
