Balanced equation
![Balance the chemical equation algebraically: S + Mg ⟶ MgS Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 S + c_2 Mg ⟶ c_3 MgS Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for S and Mg: S: | c_1 = c_3 Mg: | c_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 = 1 c_3 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | S + Mg ⟶ MgS](../image_source/fe0f5da2a6b7ceafe67e19273f047523.png)
