Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Na_2C_2O_4 + Ca_5(OH)(PO_4)_3 ⟶ NaOH + Na_3PO_4 + CaC_2O_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Na_2C_2O_4 + c_2 Ca_5(OH)(PO_4)_3 ⟶ c_3 NaOH + c_4 Na_3PO_4 + c_5 CaC_2O_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for C, Na, O, Ca, H and P: C: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_5 Na: | 2 c_1 = c_3 + 3 c_4 O: | 4 c_1 + 13 c_2 = c_3 + 4 c_4 + 4 c_5 Ca: | 5 c_2 = c_5 H: | c_2 = c_3 P: | 3 c_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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 5 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 5 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 5 Na_2C_2O_4 + Ca_5(OH)(PO_4)_3 ⟶ NaOH + 3 Na_3PO_4 + 5 CaC_2O_4
