Ca(OH)2 + (NH4)2SO4 → CaSO4 + 2NH3 + 2H2O

That is the balanced equation.

The coefficients represent the amount of moles for that reactant. There is 1 mole of Calcium Hydroxide, 1 mole of Ammonium Sulfate, 1 mole of Calcium Sulfate, 2 moles of Ammonium, and 2 moles of water.

Now add all the coefficients/moles.


1+1+1+2+2= 7

The answer is 7 coefficients.
