If you have difficulty making sense of it yourself, there are online equation balancers available. I recommend giving one of then a try. Here's a link to get you started: http://www.gregthatcher.com/Chemistry/BalanceEquation/C

I don't think the balancing of equations is the problem here, but the problem is even more fundamental. The two chemicals mentioned here when put together do not simply form alumina, CO2 and water. The topic starter first has to do more research on what compounds are involved in his process, how they react and under which conditions they react. I assume that air is involved in the process as well.

No, the problem is the original poster himself. He should have done more research work into this 'reaction' and at least attempted to balance it and think about it for himself first.

Oh, and BTW, 'u' and 'ur' only make us think even further that you're a k3wl.
