Answer:
1, 1, 1, 1
Explanation:
potassium hydrogen sulfate + potassium hydroxide ⟶ potassium sulfate + water(l)
KHSO₄ + KOH ⟶ K₂SO₄ + H₂O
1. Put a 1 in front of the most complicated-looking formula (K₂SO₄?):
KHSO₄ + KOH ⟶ 1K₂SO₄ + H₂O
2. Balance S:
We have fixed 1 S on the right. We need 1 S on the left. Put a 1 in front of KHSO₄ to fix it.
1KHSO₄ + KOH ⟶ 1K₂SO₄ + H₂O
3. Balance K:
We have fixed 2 K on the right and 1 K on the left. We need 1 more K on the left. Put a 1 in front of KOH.
1KHSO₄ + 1KOH ⟶ 1K₂SO₄ + H₂O
4. Balance O
We have fixed 4 O on the right and 5 O on the left. We need 1 more O on the right. Put a 1 in front of H₂O.
1KHSO₄ + 1KOH ⟶ 1K₂SO₄ + 1H₂O
Every formula has a coefficient. The equation should be balanced.
5. Check that atoms balance:
[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}\textbf{Atom} & \textbf{On the left} & \textbf{On the right}\\\text{K} & 2 &2\\\text{H} & 2 & 2\\\text{S} & 1 & 1\\\text{O}&5&5\\\end{array}[/tex]
It checks.
The coefficients are 1, 1, 1, 1.
