Balancing Chemical Equations

What is a chemical equation? Chemical equation - Describes a chemical change. Parts of an equation: Reactant Product 2Ag + H2S Ag2S + H2 Reaction symbol

Reactants and Products Reactant - The chemical(s) you start with before the reaction. Written on left side of equation. Product - The new chemical(s) formed by the reaction. Right side of equation.

Subscripts and Coefficients Subscript - shows how many atoms of an element are in a molecule. EX: H2O 2 atoms of hydrogen (H)‏ 1 atom of oxygen (O)‏ Coefficient - shows how many molecules there are of a particular chemical. EX: 3 H2O Means there are 3 water molecules.

Symbols (substance dissolved in water) Pt a catalyst is present (in this case, platinum)

Diatomic Elements H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, and I2 These elements cannot exist as single atoms ex. Hydrogen cannot exist as just H These elements are diatomic ONLY when they are alone, NOT when chemically bonded to another element. ex. Cl2 but NaCl (not diatomic, use charges here)

A Chemical Reaction 2H2 + O2  2H2O

Law of Conservation of Mass In a chem. rxn, matter is neither created nor destroyed. In other words, the number and type of atoms going INTO a rxn must be the same as the number and type of atoms coming OUT. If an equation obeys the Law of Conservation, it is balanced.

An Unbalanced Equation CH4 + O2  CO2 + H2O Reactant Side Product Side 1 carbon atom 4 hydrogen atoms 2 oxygen atoms 1 carbon atom 2 hydrogen atoms 3 oxygen atoms

A Balanced Equation CH4 + 2O2  CO2 + 2H2O Reactant Side Product Side 1 carbon atom 4 hydrogen atoms 4 oxygen atoms 1 carbon atom 4 hydrogen atoms 4 oxygen atoms

Rules of the Game 1. Matter cannot be created or destroyed. 2. Subscripts cannot be added, removed, or changed. 3. You can only change coefficients. 4. Coefficients can only go in front of chem. formulas...NEVER in the middle of a formula. A few extra tips: Try balancing big formulas first; save free elements for last. If the same polyatomic ion appears on both sides of the equation, it’s usually okay to treat it as one unit. There is no one particular way to balance equations. Some equations are harder to balance than others and might require some creativity to solve.
