    Balancing Chemical Equation

    Uploaded by

    Patricia Cadacio
    The document discusses balancing chemical equations by obeying the law of conservation of mass. It provides tips on balancing equations such as keeping subscripts the same and only changing coefficients. Examples are given of balancing combination, decomposition, and double replacement reactions. The key steps in balancing equations are to first balance atoms in the largest molecules and save free elements for last.

    Law of Conservation of Mass

     States that matter cannot be


    created or destroyed in a
    chemical reaction
     the mass of any atom at the
    beginning of a reaction will
    equal to the mass of the atom
    at the end of the reaction

    Antoine Lavoisier
    Know the numbers!
     Subscripts and Coefficients

     Subscripts  shows how many atoms of an


    element are in a molecule
    Ex: H2O means 2atoms of H and 1 atom of O
     Coefficients  shows how many molecules
    are there of a particular chemical.
    Ex: 3H2O means there are 3 water
    molecules
    Tips on Balancing Equations
     Subscripts cannot be added, removed or
    changed
     You can only add coefficient

     Coefficients can only go in front of


    chemical formulas, never in the middle of a
    formula
     Try balancing big formula first; save free
    elements for last.
