Both reactions are a simple double replacement reaction, so coefficients are 1.

Explanation:

A double replacement reaction is one where the positive iones and the negative ions of the two compounds switch places.

#A^+ B^-# + # C^+D^- ##A^+ D^- + C^ +B ^-#

#SiO_2 + CaCO_3 = CaSiO_3 + CO_2#
#SiO_2 + Na_2CO_3 = Na_2SiO_3 + CO_2#
