Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Na + Al(OH)_3 ⟶ H_2 + Na3AlO3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Na + c_2 Al(OH)_3 ⟶ c_3 H_2 + c_4 Na3AlO3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Na, Al, H and O: Na: | c_1 = 3 c_4 Al: | c_2 = c_4 H: | 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 O: | 3 c_2 = 3 c_4 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3/2 c_4 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 6 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 6 Na + 2 Al(OH)_3 ⟶ 3 H_2 + 2 Na3AlO3
