Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HCl + Ca_3N_2 ⟶ CaCl_2 + NH_4Cl Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HCl + c_2 Ca_3N_2 ⟶ c_3 CaCl_2 + c_4 NH_4Cl Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, Ca and N: Cl: | c_1 = 2 c_3 + c_4 H: | c_1 = 4 c_4 Ca: | 3 c_2 = c_3 N: | 2 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 = 8 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 8 HCl + Ca_3N_2 ⟶ 3 CaCl_2 + 2 NH_4Cl
