Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: CuCl_2 + Na_3PO_4 ⟶ NaCl + Cu_3(PO_4)_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 CuCl_2 + c_2 Na_3PO_4 ⟶ c_3 NaCl + c_4 Cu_3(PO_4)_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, Cu, Na, O and P: Cl: | 2 c_1 = c_3 Cu: | c_1 = 3 c_4 Na: | 3 c_2 = c_3 O: | 4 c_2 = 8 c_4 P: | c_2 = 2 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 6 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 CuCl_2 + 2 Na_3PO_4 ⟶ 6 NaCl + Cu_3(PO_4)_2
