Balance the chemical equation algebraically: C + SiO_2 + Ca_3(PO_4)_2 ⟶ CO + P + CaSiO Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 C + c_2 SiO_2 + c_3 Ca_3(PO_4)_2 ⟶ c_4 CO + c_5 P + c_6 CaSiO Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for C, O, Si, Ca and P: C: | c_1 = c_4 O: | 2 c_2 + 8 c_3 = c_4 + c_6 Si: | c_2 = c_6 Ca: | 3 c_3 = c_6 P: | 2 c_3 = c_5 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 11 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 11 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 11 C + 3 SiO_2 + Ca_3(PO_4)_2 ⟶ 11 CO + 2 P + 3 CaSiO
