Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Mg + Fe_2(SO_4)_3·xH_2O ⟶ Fe + MgSO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Mg + c_2 Fe_2(SO_4)_3·xH_2O ⟶ c_3 Fe + c_4 MgSO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Mg, Fe, O and S: Mg: | c_1 = c_4 Fe: | 2 c_2 = c_3 O: | 12 c_2 = 4 c_4 S: | 3 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 3 Mg + Fe_2(SO_4)_3·xH_2O ⟶ 2 Fe + 3 MgSO_4
