Calcium Carbonate and aluminum silicate are mixed together and heated. A mixture of calcium oxide, carbon dioxide, aluminum oxide and calcium silicate is produced. Write the balanced equation for this reaction.

My Work:

4CaCO3(s) + Al2(SiO3)3(s) → CaO(s) + 4CO2(g) + Al2O3(s) + 3CaSiO3(s)

Are these states of matter correct? I had some trouble finding a solubility chart that contains silicate but I think I finally got it. I really appreciate your help.

They look ok to me. Here is a simplified table summary I use.
