Learn about conservation of moles, atoms, and mass in chemical reactions. Balance equations step-by-step to satisfy the law of conservation of atoms. Find practice problems and detailed explanations at the provided link.
E N D
M. Conservation of Moles • No, it’s not conserved. (Mole is a unit) ex) Ex) H2O -> H2 + ½ O2 Reactant product 1 mole 1.5 mole
Conservation of atoms: in chemical reactions, atoms are neither lost nor gained • Conservation of mass: matter can neither be created nor destroyed; Mass is conserved
Balancing equations 1. know what reactants are consumed and what products form 2. know the correct formula 3. Balance: Working one element at a time, add coefficients in front of formulas as needed to make number of atoms equal on both sides ****** Satisfy the law of conservation of atoms
Satisfying the law of conservation of atoms means!! • 1. you need to have same number of atoms on both sides (reactant and product side) ex) Is this balanced? CH4+ O2 -> CO2 + H2O
#2 2 3 3 2 • Ex: __BaCl2 + __AlBr3 __BaBr2 + __AlCl3
