Arrow= ______

B.  Law of Conservation of Mass- mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction ______. The mass of the reactant must equal the mass of the ______

II. Balancing Chemical Equations- in order to show that mass is conserved during a reaction, a chemical equation must be balanced.

1.  ______- the number that appears before the formula

2.  Only coefficients can be changed when balancing a chemical equation. NEVER CHANGE THE SUBSCRIPT.

STEPS FOR BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATIONS

1.  Count the number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation.

2.  Change one or more coefficients until the equation is balanced.
