  1. Balancing Chemical Equations BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATIONS.

  2. Rules: 1. The same number of atoms of each element appearing in reactants must appear in the products. 2. The subscripts of a formula cannot be changed to balance the equation. 3. Choose compound with greatest number of atoms first. 4. Balance by placing necessary coefficients in front of entire molecules. NO SUBSCRIPT CHANGES!

  3. Rules cont. 5. Be certain each side of equation has same number of atoms of each type. 6. Make sure coefficients are in lowest whole number ratios. 7. Polyatomic ions usually stay intact, but multiple polyatomic ions may be separated. 8. (aq.) stands for aqueous which is Latin for water solution: (g) gas (l) liquid (s) solid (c) crystalline solid

  4. More Rules: •  means “yields” and shows direction of action • ∆ above arrow shows heat has been added •  shows reaction is reversible • MINHO: try Metals first, then Ions, then Nonmetals, and Hydrogen, then Oxygen last

  5. Sample Problem: C8H18 + O2 CO2 + H2O C8H18 + O2 __ CO2 + __ H2O C8H18 + __ O2 __ CO2 + __ H2O __ C8H18 + __ O2 __ CO2 + __ H2O

  6. Practice Problems: H2CrO4 + AgNO3 Ag2CrO4 + HNO3 (aq) (aq) (s) (aq) Chromic + Silver  Silver + Nitric Acid Nitrate Chromate Acid 1, 2, 1, 2 Double displacement

  7. Problem # 6 Cu(NO3)2 CuO + NO2 + O2 (aq) (s) (g) (g) Copper (II)  Copper (II) + Nitrogen + Oxygen Nitrate Oxide Dioxide Gas 2, 2, 4, 1 Decomposition
