Balancing of Chemical Equation
How could we say that a chemical equation is balance?
Mg + O 2 → MgO 2Mg + O 2 → 2MgO Balance Equation
How do we balance a chemical equation?
Mg + O 2 → MgO 1. Identify the number of elements in the left and right side of the equation L R Mg O
Mg + O 2 → MgO L R Mg O 1 1 1 2 (2) (2) (2) 2Mg + O 2 → 2MgO
L R 2 O 3 1 Al 2 Al + O 2 → Al 2 O 3 (4) (2) (2) (3) (3) (4) (2)
CH 4 + O 2 → CO 2 + H 2 O L R C H O (2) (2) (1) (2) (4) (1) (4) (2) 2 (3) (2)
CFCl 3 → Cl Cl + O 3 → ClO + O 2 ClO + O 3 → Cl + O 2
Balance the equation : 1. Zn + HCl → ZnCl 2 + H 2 2. Fe + H 2 O → H 2 + Fe 3 O 4 3. P 4 + O 2 → P 2 O 5 4. C 2 H 8 + O 2 → CO 2 + H 2 O 5. C 2 H 8 + O 2 → CO + H 2 O
