Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Al_2O_3 + KHSO_4 ⟶ H_2O + K_2SO_4 + Al_2(SO_4)_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Al_2O_3 + c_2 KHSO_4 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 K_2SO_4 + c_5 Al_2(SO_4)_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Al, O, H, K and S: Al: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_5 O: | 3 c_1 + 4 c_2 = c_3 + 4 c_4 + 12 c_5 H: | c_2 = 2 c_3 K: | c_2 = 2 c_4 S: | c_2 = c_4 + 3 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 6 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | Al_2O_3 + 6 KHSO_4 ⟶ 3 H_2O + 3 K_2SO_4 + Al_2(SO_4)_3
