Ex. Iron reacts with copper sulfate an forms
iron (II) sulfate and copper.
Answers:
What is the reactants? Product?
1. Reactants
2. Product
What is the symbol for iron?
Copper sulfate?
Where are we going to write the reactants?
What about the product?
What is the symbol used to show that the two
substance combine?
What will be the equation for the reactant side?
3. It formed rust/
What is the symbol use to show the formation of
new substance?
What is the equation for the product side?
the iron nail
Now, will you combine the equation of the
reactant and product side?
Very good, now let’s have a seat work, you are

going to translate this following chemical
reactions into chemical equation.
Ex.
2. Magnesium combines with oxygen gas to
produce magnesium oxide.
3. Acetic Acid (CH3COOH) and sodium
bicarbonate (NaHCO3) produce sodium acetate
4. Production of
with release of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas and
water
4. Copper sulfate (CuSO4) reacts with sodium

Okay, so our next topic is about “Balancing
Chemical Equation”, what are the steps in
5. Formation of
balancing chemical equation?
precipitate
Answers:
Let’s have an example.
Ex. P4 + Cl2 PCl3+hci 1. Reactants
2. Product
What are elements in reactant side?

Product side?

How many atoms are there in P, Cl in reactant side?

3. It formed rust/
the iron nail
How about in product side?
Which side has the smaller number of atoms?

turned into
Correct, so we will start in the product side, because it has
the smaller number of atoms and we will make its atoms the
same with the reactant side, so we will only change the
rust
coefficient not the subscript, because if we will change the
subscript the identity of the substance will also change, what
will be your starting value?
4. Production of
Let’s have another example:
Fe + O2 Fe2O3

Okay, let’s have a seatwork, you will going to balance these of new

following chemical equations.
1. Pb + H2O + O2 Pb(OH)2
2. Fe + H2O Fe3O4 + H2
3. PCl5 + H2O POCl3 +HCI

Equal, The same, Balance.

Substance, Toxic, Chemicals.

Numbers, Equation, Signs

Our lesson for today is all about Chemical Equation and

Balancing Chemical Equation.

Reactants and Products

+ - combination/combine
- to produce, to yield- reversible reaction

(s)– solid
(l) – liquid
(g) – gas
(aq) – aqueous

Heat is supplied in the reaction.

 pt - indicates its use as a catalyst or solvent.

Steps in Writing a Chemical Equation

1. Identify the reactants and product (reactants are on

the left side and product on the right side)
2. Translate reactants and products into
atomic symbol and formula
3. Write the direction of the reaction.

Reactants – iron and copper sulfate

Product – iron (II) sulfate and copper

Fe
CuSO4
At the left side
At the right side

Plus sign (+)

Fe + CuSO4

FeSO4 + Cu

Fe + CuSO4 FeSO4 + Cu

Answers:
2. Mg + O2 MgO2
3. CH3COOH + NaHCO3 CH3COONa +
CO2 + H2O
4. CuSO4 + NaOH Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO2

A state in which the two different side occur in equal or

proper amounts.

1.Take note of the elements in Reactant and Product

side.
2. Count the number of atoms of each element present
in reactant and product side.
3. Add coefficients to make the number of atoms equal.
4. Double check if the atoms are balance.

Reactant side- P, CI

Product side- P, CI

REACTANT PRODUCT
P- 4 P- 1
CI- 2 CI- 3

Product side.

REACTANT PRODUCT
Fe – 1 2 4 Fe- 2 4
O- 2 4 6 O- 3 6

Answers:
1. 2Pb + 2H2O + 2O2 2Pb(OH)2
2. 3Fe + 4H2O Fe3O4 + 4H2
3. PCl5 + H2O POCl3 +2HCI

+ - combination/combine
- to produce, to yield- reversible reaction

(s)– solid
(l) – liquid
(g) – gas
(aq) – aqueous

Heat is supplied in the reaction.

pt - indicates its use as a catalyst or solvent.

Steps in Writing a Chemical Equation

1. Identify the reactants and product (reactants are on

the left side and product on the right side)
2. Translate reactants and products into
atomic symbol and formula
3. Write the direction of the reaction

Saves time and space because it is the shorthand in

writing the chemical reaction.

Illustrates how chemical reaction happen.
