![Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Al_2O_3 + CaO ⟶ O_4Al_2Ca_1 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Al_2O_3 + c_2 CaO ⟶ c_3 O_4Al_2Ca_1 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Al, O and Ca: Al: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 O: | 3 c_1 + c_2 = 4 c_3 Ca: | c_2 = c_3 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 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | Al_2O_3 + CaO ⟶ O_4Al_2Ca_1](../image_source/825c7789033077645fa32aac370ec40c.png)
