Input interpretation
tricalcium diphosphate ⟶ lime + P2O5
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: ⟶ + P2O5 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 ⟶ c_2 + c_3 P2O5 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Ca, O and P: Ca: | 3 c_1 = c_2 O: | 8 c_1 = c_2 + 5 c_3 P: | 2 c_1 = 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 = 3 c_3 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | ⟶ 3 + P2O5
