Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: N_2 + C + Al_2O_3 ⟶ CO + AlN Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 N_2 + c_2 C + c_3 Al_2O_3 ⟶ c_4 CO + c_5 AlN Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for N, C, Al and O: N: | 2 c_1 = c_5 C: | c_2 = c_4 Al: | 2 c_3 = c_5 O: | 3 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 = 3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | N_2 + 3 C + Al_2O_3 ⟶ 3 CO + 2 AlN
