 VOCABULARY

SUBSCRIPT
- Are numbers that come after a symbol
- Tell you the number of atoms of that
element

 VOCABULARY

SUBSCRIPT
- If an element does not have a
subscript, then it is understood that
the subscript is 1

coefficient
- Is the number in front of the formula
to balance the equations.
- It must be the simplest whole number
ratio.

 HOW TO BALANCE CHEMICAL
EQUATIONS
• IN BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATION,
REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING:
1. BALANCE THE MOST UNCOMMON
ATOMS FIRST.
2. DO NOT CHANGE FORMULAS (OR
SUBSCRIPTS) FOR THE PURPOSE OF
BALANCING THE EQAUTION.

 HOW TO BALANCE CHEMICAL
EQUATIONS
• IN BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATION,
REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING:
3. DO NOT INTRODUCE unnecessary
FORMULAS IN THE EQUATION.

Sample Footer Text 2/8/20XX 15

 STEPS IN BALANCING EQUATIONS:

• 1. WRITE THE UNBALANCED CHEMICAL

EQUATION
• 2. TAKE NOTE OF THE ELEMENTS PRESENT
IN THE REACTANT AND PRODUCT SIDE
• 3. COUNT THE NUMBER OF ATOM/S OF
EACH ELEMENT PRESENT IN THE
REACTANT AND PRODUCT SIDE

 STEPS IN BALANCING EQUATIONS:

• 4. APPLY THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF

MASS TO GET THE SAME NUMBER OF
ATOMS OF EVERY ELEMENT ON EACH
SIDE OF THE EQUATION.
• BALANCE CHEMICAL EQUATIONS BY
PLACING THE APPROPRIATE
COEFFICIENTS BEFORE THE SYMBOL OR

 STEPS IN BALANCING EQUATIONS:

• DO NOT CHANGE THE SUBSCRIPTS TO

BALANCE THE EQUATION AS IT WILL
CHANGE THE IDENTITY OF THE
COMPONENTS.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Divide the class into groups and give each group a
chemical equation to work with.
2. Each group will do a different set of chemical equations.
3. Have them present the chemical equations using colored
paper to make the elements that compose the equation.
