Balancing a Reaction By: Mr. Letzel
First Identify the Elements Hydrogen + Oxygen Hydrogen Oxide *Use your reference sheet… H + O H0
Second…check for HONClBrIF H + O H0 H2 + O2 H0
Third…Apply Oxidation States H2 + O2 H+10-2 H2 + O2 H20
List and Count the atoms… H2 + O2 H20 ERP H 2 2 O 2 1
Coefficients H2 + O2 2H20 ERP H 2 24 O 2 12
Double Check – Both Sides 2H2 + O2 2H20 ERP H 24 24 O 2 12
Final Balanced Equation Hydrogen + Oxygen Hydrogen Oxide 2H2 + O2 2H20
