Balancing Equations Notes…27 Equations must be balanced because matter can’t be created or destroyed- Law of Conservation of Mass Must have equal numbers of atoms of each element on both sides When balancing equations you may only add a coefficient. You may NOT change a subscript! (this will change the compound)
