Balance the following equations:
$straight S subscript 8 plus straight H subscript 2 SO subscript 4 space space rightwards arrow space space space SO subscript 2 plus straight H subscript 2 straight O$

Solution

space space space straight H subscript 2 SO subscript 4 space rightwards arrow space space space straight H subscript 2 straight O space plus space SO subscript 2 plus left parenthesis straight O right parenthesis space space... left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis

straight S subscript 8 plus 16 left parenthesis straight O right parenthesis space space rightwards arrow space space 8 SO subscript 2

...(2)
Multiplying equation (1) by 16 and add the two equations.

open square brackets straight H subscript 2 SO subscript 4 rightwards arrow straight H subscript 2 straight O plus SO subscript 2 plus left parenthesis straight O right parenthesis close square brackets space cross times space 16

straight S subscript 8 plus 16 left parenthesis straight O right parenthesis space rightwards arrow space space 8 SO subscript 2

---------------------------------------------

straight S subscript 8 plus 16 straight H subscript 2 SO subscript 4 space rightwards arrow space space 16 straight H subscript 2 straight O space plus 24 space SO subscript 2
