Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2SO_4 + Mg_3(PO_4)_2·5H_2O ⟶ H_3PO_4 + MgSO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2SO_4 + c_2 Mg_3(PO_4)_2·5H_2O ⟶ c_3 H_3PO_4 + c_4 MgSO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, Mg and P: H: | 2 c_1 = 3 c_3 O: | 4 c_1 + 8 c_2 = 4 c_3 + 4 c_4 S: | c_1 = c_4 Mg: | 3 c_2 = c_4 P: | 2 c_2 = c_3 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 = 2 c_4 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 3 H_2SO_4 + Mg_3(PO_4)_2·5H_2O ⟶ 2 H_3PO_4 + 3 MgSO_4
