Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: CaO + Si + Li_2O ⟶ Li + CaSiO_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 CaO + c_2 Si + c_3 Li_2O ⟶ c_4 Li + c_5 CaSiO_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Ca, O, Si and Li: Ca: | c_1 = c_5 O: | c_1 + c_3 = 3 c_5 Si: | c_2 = c_5 Li: | 2 c_3 = 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 = 4 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | CaO + Si + 2 Li_2O ⟶ 4 Li + CaSiO_3
