4 Chemical Equations are Balanced In a balanced chemical reaction atoms are not gained or lost. the number of reactant atoms is equal to the number of product atoms.

5 A Balanced Chemical Equation In a balanced chemical equation, there must be the same number of each type of atom on the reactant side and on the product side of a balanced equation. numbers called coefficients are used in front of one or more formulas. Al + S Al 2 S 3 Not Balanced 2Al + 3S Al 2 S 3 Balanced 2 Al = 2 Al 3 S = 3 S

11 To balance the following equation, Fe 3 O 4 (s) + H 2 (g) Fe(s) + H 2 O(l) work on one element at a time. use only coefficients in front of formulas. do not change any subscripts. Fe:Fe 3 O 4 (s) + H 2 (g) 3Fe(s) + H 2 O(l) O:Fe 3 O 4 (s) + H 2 (g) 3Fe(s) + 4H 2 O(l) H: Fe 3 O 4 (s) + 4H 2 (g) 3Fe(s) + 4H 2 O(l) Steps in Balancing an Equation

12 1. Write the equation with the correct formulas. NH 3 (g) + O 2 (g) NO(g) + H 2 O(g) 2. Determine if the equation is balanced. No, not all atoms are balanced. 3. Balance with coefficients in front of formulas. 4NH 3 (g) + 5O 2 (g) 4NO(g) + 6H 2 O(g) 4. Check that atoms of each element are equal in reactants and products. 4 N (4 x 1 N) = 4 N (4 x 1 N) 12 H (4 x 3 H) = 12 H (6 x 2 H) 10 O (5 x 2 O)= 10 O(4 O + 6 O) Balancing Chemical Equations
