Assignment, "balancing a party," allowed me to show my understanding of balancing equations. In a chemical equation, if the subscript of H on the right was H(2), a two would need to be placed in front of the H on the left like so, 2H. In order to end with two hydrogens, one must put two hydrogens in.

The assignment that I created, Balancing a Party, allowed me to show my
understanding of balancing equations. Based on what I learned during my Chemistry 1010 class, I am able to translate my knowledge of balancing equations into a real life situation. I used the example of a birthday party and the supplies needed to demonstrate how one would balance both sides of an equation. All parts need to be equal on both sides of the equation. In order to ensure that both sides are equal, one would add a number to the front of the item on the left to match the subscript of the same item on the other side. So if five balloons were needed on the left it would say 5b and on the right it would say b(5). This is how it would be done with a chemical equation. In a chemical equation, if the subscript of H on the right was H(2), a two would need to be placed in front of the H on the left like so, 2H. This assignment shows how one would have to put a certain number of something in to get the same number out. In order to end with two hydrogens, one must put two hydrogens in. This is the same with my party example, in order to have a balloon for each of the five kids, five balloons must be bought, or put in.
