Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: AlCl_3 + Pb(NO_3)_2 ⟶ Al(NO_3)_3 + PbCl_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 AlCl_3 + c_2 Pb(NO_3)_2 ⟶ c_3 Al(NO_3)_3 + c_4 PbCl_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Al, Cl, N, O and Pb: Al: | c_1 = c_3 Cl: | 3 c_1 = 2 c_4 N: | 2 c_2 = 3 c_3 O: | 6 c_2 = 9 c_3 Pb: | 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 3/2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3/2 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 AlCl_3 + 3 Pb(NO_3)_2 ⟶ 2 Al(NO_3)_3 + 3 PbCl_2
