How Do You Balance CaCO3 + Al2SiO5 ---> CaO + CO2 + Al2O3 + CaSiO4?

[HOFBrINCl]

1. Ok here it is, this is one monster of an equation that I have tried and TRIED to balance. hopefully somebody can give me a hand with this thing, thanks in advance





2. CaCO3 + Al2SiO5 ---> CaO + CO2 + Al2O3 + CaSiO4



3. What can I say, I've tried repeatedly and can't get it.

Are you sure it is CaSiO₄ and not CaSiO₃? (not that it will help much, but at least it will move us back into the realm of chemistry )

This reaction can't be balanced, see When balancing chemical reaction equation fails for more details.
