8. Balancing Chemical Equations Notes

9. Think back! What is the Law of Conservation of Matter?
Matter can not be created or destroyed, it can be transformed from one form to another.

10. Why is this important for chemical equations?
Same number of each element on the reactant side as the product side
Balanced

11. Mr. Klotz’s Tips for Balancing Equations
Must satisfy the law of conservation of matter
Only use whole number coefficients
All atoms should be present on both the reactant and product side of the equation
Check to see if the equation is already balanced
Coefficients go in front of the substance and multiply all subscripts

12. Mr. Klotz’s tips for balancing equations continued
One (1) is understood and does not have to be written as a coefficient
All coefficients should be reduced to lowest terms
Balance most complex species first and then move to single atoms
Double check your work!
