Ohh now I got it, I had mixed up the signs in the oxidation numbers of Ammonia. Thanks for your help!

Thanks, but I was looking to balance it with the method of the variation of the oxidation number, not the ionic one.

Hi, I am new to redox reactions and am trying to figure out how to balance this equation with the N.O. variation method.
KNO3+Al+KOH+H2O=NH3+KAlO2

I can see that Al is oxidised and that N and H are reduced, however I cannot go any further with the balancing.
Thank you so much for your help!
