Balanced equation
![Balance the chemical equation algebraically: S + Na ⟶ Na4S Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 S + c_2 Na ⟶ c_3 Na4S Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for S and Na: S: | c_1 = c_3 Na: | c_2 = 4 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 = 4 c_3 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | S + 4 Na ⟶ Na4S](../image_source/918a06a76faaa0a6e4b314a67391357a.png)
