GRADE & SECTION:__________________________ TEACHER:_____________________

I. TOPIC:CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND CHEMICAL EQUATIONS

(Writing and Balancing Chemical Equations)

II. LEARNING GOAL:The students should be able to:

a. Write equations for chemical reactions and balance the equations;
b. Perform exercises on writing and balancing chemical equations;
c. Describe evidences that a chemical reaction has occurred.

III. CONCEPTS:

WRITING AND BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATIONS

✓ In a chemical reaction, a substance (or substances) is converted to one or more new substances.
Chemical reactions follow the law of conservation of mass. No atoms are created or destroyed. They
represent chemical reactions through chemical equations.

Consider the reaction of hydrogen gas (H2) with chlorine gas (Cl2) to yield hydrogen chloride. The
reaction is illustrated by the figure below.

Procedure of balancing equations:

a. Identify reactants and products and write their correct formula. Put reactants on the left side and
products on the right.
H2(g) + Cl2(g) → HCl(g)

b. Balance the equation by changing the coefficients of the reactants or products. Do not change the
subscripts or the chemical formula.
H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2 HCl(g)

c. Check to make sure that the number of each type of atom is the same on each side of the equation.
