when the following equation is balanced , what is the sum of the co-efficients?

Question

AL2(SO4)^3+Ca(OH)2-->Al(OH)3+CaSO4

Answer 1

You don't need me to do this. Balance it and add the coefficients. Or if you're having trouble, explain the problem.

Answer 2

I suck at balancing!!!!
Sorry Dr BOb you will have to take me on a slow journey on this one....Thanks andy

Answer 3

Al2(SO4)3 + Ca(OH)2-->Al(OH)3 + CaSO4

No. You need the practice. Here is how you start. Right off the bat I see 3 SO4 on the left so we stick a 3 for CaSO4. That takes care of a chunk. I would balance Al next, then count up H and balance them.

Answer 4

thanks ...will practice and practice and practice.....andy
