Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: AlCl_3 + NaHCO_3 ⟶ CO_2 + NaCl + Al(OH)_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 AlCl_3 + c_2 NaHCO_3 ⟶ c_3 CO_2 + c_4 NaCl + c_5 Al(OH)_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Al, Cl, C, H, Na and O: Al: | c_1 = c_5 Cl: | 3 c_1 = c_4 C: | c_2 = c_3 H: | c_2 = 3 c_5 Na: | c_2 = c_4 O: | 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 + 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 = 3 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | AlCl_3 + 3 NaHCO_3 ⟶ 3 CO_2 + 3 NaCl + Al(OH)_3
