- The skeleton equation is:


Al_2(CO_3)_3+Cu(NO_3)_2\text{ }\rightarrow Cu_{}(CO_3)+Al(NO_3)_3

The products are Cu(CO3) and Al(NO3)3.

- The balanced equation is:


Al_2(CO_3)_3+3Cu(NO_3)_2\text{ }\rightarrow3Cu_{}(CO_3)+2Al(NO_3)_3

So, on the reactants side and on the products side are:

- 2 moles of Al.

- 3 moles of C.

- 3 moles of Cu.

- 3 moles of N.

- 27 moles of O.
