does anyone know the balanced equation for the reaction of yttrium nitrate and aluminum nitrate?

so...  Y(NO₃)₃+Al(NO₃)₃ Y₃Al₅O₁₂ + ...

I know there are some other products but not entirely sure, N₂, O₂, NO₂?

help would be appreciated

Synthesis of ytrium aluminium garnet needs at least temperature
of 1000-1200 C.
In this conditions the most thermodynamically stable is NO (when alone). But in the presence of oxygen NO is partially decomposed to nitrogen. Stoichiometry needs a defined products of reaction - hence my advice - use NO and O₂ for balancing.

Thanks for the respons
By using that I get...

3Y(NO₃)₃ + 5Al(NO₃)₃ + H₂O  Y₃Al₅O₁₂ + 24NO + 18O₂ + H₂O

Does this seem like a reasonable reaction?

The same reagent cannot be on both sides. Remove water, then the rest of equation will be OK
