Instructions

To balance a chemical equation, enter an equation of a chemical reaction and press the Balance button. The balanced equation will appear above.

• Use uppercase for the first character in the element and lowercase for the second character. Examples: Fe, Au, Co, Br, C, O, N, F.
• Ionic charges are not yet supported and will be ignored.
• Replace immutable groups in compounds to avoid ambiguity. For example, C6H5C2H5 + O2 = C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O will not be balanced, but XC2H5 + O2 = XOH + CO2 + H2O will.
• Compound states [like (s) (aq) or (g)] are not required.
• You can use parenthesis () or brackets [].

Balance C6H5 + OH = C6H5OH Using the Algebraic Method

To balance the equation C6H5 + OH = C6H5OH using the algebraic method step-by-step, you must have experience solving systems of linear equations. The most common methods are substitution/elimination and linear algebra, but any similar method will work.

Step 1: Label Each Compound With a Variable

Label each compound (reactant or product) in the equation with a variable to represent the unknown coefficients.

a C6H5 + b OH = c C6H5OH

Step 2: Create a System of Equations

Create an equation for each element (C, H, O) where each term represents the number of atoms of the element in each reactant or product.

C: 6a + 0b = 6c H: 5a + 1b = 6c O: 0a + 1b = 1c

Step 3: Solve For All Variables

Use substitution, Gaussian elimination, or a calculator to solve for each variable.

Using Substitution or Elimination

• 6a - 6c = 0
• 5a + 1b - 6c = 0
• 1b - 1c = 0

Using Linear Systems / Algebra

Use your graphing calculator's rref() function (or an online rref calculator) to convert the following matrix into reduced row-echelon-form:

[ 6 0 -6 0] [ 5 1 -6 0] [ 0 1 -1 0] The resulting matrix can be used to determine the coefficients. In the case of a single solution, the last column of the matrix will contain the coefficients. Convert to RREF and Solve Step-by-Step

Simplify the result to get the lowest, whole integer values.

• a = 1 (C6H5)
• b = 1 (OH)
• c = 1 (C6H5OH)

Step 4: Substitute Coefficients and Verify Result

Count the number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation and verify that all elements and electrons (if there are charges/ions) are balanced.

C6H5 + OH = C6H5OH

Reactants	Products
C	6	6	✔️
H	6	6	✔️
O	1	1	✔️

Since there is an equal number of each element in the reactants and products of C6H5 + OH = C6H5OH, the equation is balanced.

Balance C6H5 + OH = C6H5OH Using Inspection

The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, which means there must be the same number atoms at the end of a chemical reaction as at the beginning. To be balanced, every element in C6H5 + OH = C6H5OH must have the same number of atoms on each side of the equation. When using the inspection method (also known as the trial-and-error method), this principle is used to balance one element at a time until both sides are equal and the chemical equation is balanced.

Step 1: Count the number of each element on the left and right hand sides

Reactants (Left Hand Side)			Products (Right Hand Side)
Reactants	Products
C6H5	OH	Total	C6H5OH	Total
C	6	6	6	6	✔️
H	5	1	6	6	6	✔️
O	1	1	1	1	✔️

The number of atoms of each element on both sides of C6H5 + OH = C6H5OH is equal which means that the equation is already balanced and no additional work is needed.

Practice Balancing

C6H5 - + + OH - + = C6H5OH - +

Reactants	Products
C	6	6	✔️
H	6	6	✔️
O	1	1	✔️

Hint: The sum of the balanced coefficients is 3. See Step-By-Step Solution
