Balanced equation
![Balance the chemical equation algebraically: C + CaCO_3 ⟶ CO_2 + CaC_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 C + c_2 CaCO_3 ⟶ c_3 CO_2 + c_4 CaC_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for C, Ca and O: C: | c_1 + c_2 = c_3 + 2 c_4 Ca: | c_2 = c_4 O: | 3 c_2 = 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 5/2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3/2 c_4 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 5 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 5 C + 2 CaCO_3 ⟶ 3 CO_2 + 2 CaC_2](../image_source/99995b0bc9cde52b8de39977873f5c68.png)
