Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: MgSO_4 + Na_3PO_4 ⟶ Na_2SO_4 + Mg_3(PO_4)_2·5H_2O Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 MgSO_4 + c_2 Na_3PO_4 ⟶ c_3 Na_2SO_4 + c_4 Mg_3(PO_4)_2·5H_2O Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Mg, O, S, Na and P: Mg: | c_1 = 3 c_4 O: | 4 c_1 + 4 c_2 = 4 c_3 + 8 c_4 S: | c_1 = c_3 Na: | 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 P: | c_2 = 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 MgSO_4 + 2 Na_3PO_4 ⟶ 3 Na_2SO_4 + Mg_3(PO_4)_2·5H_2O
