Balancing Chemical Equations
• Chemical reactions include– Reactants– Products– Balanced – Law of Conservation of Mass
• # of atoms of an element on the reactant side must equal the # of atoms of that element on the product side.
– Indicate the state of matter of each chemical in the reaction (Chapter 4)
Balancing Chemical Equations
• Write the equation without coefficients• List the elements in each equation
– Secret: if the same polyatomic ion exists on both sides, keep it together
• Determine the # of each kind of atom on both sides• Balance atoms one element at a time by adjusting
coefficients– DO NOT ALTER THE FORMULA OF THE COMPOUND!!!!!
• Only coefficients can be altered– Secret:
• Balance atoms appearing only once on each side first.• Save compounds comprised of only one type of element till last.
• Reduce to lowest terms if necessary
