Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: CaCl_2 + Na_2SiO_3 ⟶ NaCl + CaSiO_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 CaCl_2 + c_2 Na_2SiO_3 ⟶ c_3 NaCl + c_4 CaSiO_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Ca, Cl, Na, O and Si: Ca: | c_1 = c_4 Cl: | 2 c_1 = c_3 Na: | 2 c_2 = c_3 O: | 3 c_2 = 3 c_4 Si: | 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 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | CaCl_2 + Na_2SiO_3 ⟶ 2 NaCl + CaSiO_3
