Step 1: Label Each Compound With a Variable
Label each compound (reactant or product) in the equation with a variable đồ sộ represent the unknown coefficients.
a Fe + b CH3COOH = c Fe(CH3COO)2 + d H2
Step 2: Create a System of Equations
Create an equation for each element (Fe, C, H, O) where each term represents the number of atoms of the element in each reactant or product.
Fe: 1a + 0b = 1c + 0d C: 0a + 2b = 4c + 0d H: 0a + 4b = 6c + 2d O: 0a + 2b = 4c + 0d
Step 3: Solve For All Variables
Use substitution, Gaussian elimination, or a calculator đồ sộ solve for each variable.
- 1a - 1c = 0
- 2b - 4c = 0
- 4b - 6c - 2d = 0
- 2b - 4c = 0
Use your graphing calculator's rref() function (or an online rref calculator) đồ sộ convert the following matrix into reduced row-echelon-form:

The resulting matrix can be used đồ sộ determine the coefficients. In the case of a single solution, the last column of the matrix will contain the coefficients.
Simplify the result đồ sộ get the lowest, whole integer values.
- a = 1 (Fe)
- b = 2 (CH3COOH)
- c = 1 (Fe(CH3COO)2)
- d = 1 (H2)
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.
Fe + 2 CH3COOH = Fe(CH3COO)2 + H2
| Fe | 1 | 1 | ✔️ |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | 4 | 4 | ✔️ |
| H | 8 | 8 | ✔️ |
| O | 4 | 4 | ✔️ |
Since there is an equal number of each element in the reactants and products of Fe + 2CH3COOH = Fe(CH3COO)2 + H2, the equation is balanced.
