Input interpretation
activated charcoal + silicon dioxide + Ca3PO4 ⟶ carbon monoxide + white phosphorus + calcium silicate
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + + Ca3PO4 ⟶ + + Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 + c_3 Ca3PO4 ⟶ c_4 + c_5 + c_6 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for C, O, Si, Ca and P: C: | c_1 = c_4 O: | 2 c_2 + 4 c_3 = c_4 + 3 c_6 Si: | c_2 = c_6 Ca: | 3 c_3 = c_6 P: | c_3 = 4 c_5 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_5 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 4 c_2 = 12 c_3 = 4 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 12 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 4 + 12 + 4 Ca3PO4 ⟶ 4 + + 12
