Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: AgNO_3 + Al_2(SO_4)_3 ⟶ Al(NO_3)_3 + Ag_2SO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 AgNO_3 + c_2 Al_2(SO_4)_3 ⟶ c_3 Al(NO_3)_3 + c_4 Ag_2SO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Ag, N, O, Al and S: Ag: | c_1 = 2 c_4 N: | c_1 = 3 c_3 O: | 3 c_1 + 12 c_2 = 9 c_3 + 4 c_4 Al: | 2 c_2 = c_3 S: | 3 c_2 = c_4 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 6 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 6 AgNO_3 + Al_2(SO_4)_3 ⟶ 2 Al(NO_3)_3 + 3 Ag_2SO_4
