Balanced equation
![Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Ca + ZnSO_4 ⟶ Zn + CaSO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Ca + c_2 ZnSO_4 ⟶ c_3 Zn + c_4 CaSO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Ca, O, S and Zn: Ca: | c_1 = c_4 O: | 4 c_2 = 4 c_4 S: | c_2 = c_4 Zn: | 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | Ca + ZnSO_4 ⟶ Zn + CaSO_4](../image_source/12961b1204064c9eeadfe1e32fd77da5.png)
