Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Na_2S + Ca(NO_3)_2 ⟶ CaS + Na2(NO3)2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Na_2S + c_2 Ca(NO_3)_2 ⟶ c_3 CaS + c_4 Na2(NO3)2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Na, S, Ca, N and O: Na: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_4 S: | c_1 = c_3 Ca: | c_2 = c_3 N: | 2 c_2 = 2 c_4 O: | 6 c_2 = 6 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 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | Na_2S + Ca(NO_3)_2 ⟶ CaS + Na2(NO3)2
