During chemical reactions there are rearrangements between atoms, but nothing is created or destroyed. That means you need end with
the same amount of matter that you started with. In order to do this you must balance the reactants with the products.
1. Get an unbalanced equation.
2. Draw boxes around all the chemical formulas. Never change
anything inside of the boxes.
3. Make an element inventory. Count up the amount of each
element on the reactant side and the product side of the
reaction.
4. Write numbers in front of each of the boxes. Do this until
the inventory for each element is the same on the reactant
side and the product side.

For most chemical reactions to begin, energy must be added to the reactants. In many chemical reactions, the amount of energy needed
to start the reaction is called the _______________________________. Certain chemical substances known as catalysts
reduce the amount of activation energy need for a reaction to take place.
