Balancing Chemical Equations --- Notes
Chemical Equation: Description of a chemical reaction using symbols and formulas.
C + O2 CO2
Reactant: Substance that enters into rection (left side)
Product: Produced by chemical reaction (right side)
Subscript: Little # describing amount of atoms
Coefficient: # in front describing amount of moles
Conservation of Mass Law-Atoms can be neither created nor destroyed during a chemical equation. So… The number of atoms on each side of the arrow has to be the same.
We have to add COEFFICIENTS to the front of the formulas to BALANCE an equation. Do NOT change the chemical formulas in the equation.
C + O2 CONot balanced (need O on right)
C + O2 2CO What else did that change?
2C + O2 2COPerfect.
Balancing Hints:
- Start simple. What is different?
- Group polyatomic ions if possible.
- If in doubt, balance H2O last.
- Check to make sure equation is correct (conservation of atoms)
Try these:
Mg+O2MgO
Na+Cl2NaCl
MgCO3+HClMgCl2+H2CO3
Balance These Equations:
1. HgO+Cl2HgCl+O2
2. Na+Br2NaBr
3.Al2O3Al+O2
4. CuCl2+H2SCuS+HCl
5. Cl2+NaBrNaCl+Br2
6.NaOH+HClNaCl+H2O
7. KClO3KCl+O2
8.Na2O+CO2Na2CO3
9. H2O+FeFe2O3+H2
10. Ca(OH)2+HNO3Ca(NO3)2+H2O
