Balancing Equations P + + = O + + = GCSE/A Level Chemistry
Balancing Equations P Oxygen + = Hydrogen Water O Oxygen = + Carbon Hydrogen GCSE/A Level Chemistry
Balancing Equations The mass on each side of the equation must be equal. Oxygen + = Carbon Dioxide Carbon 1 x 12 = 12g 2 x 16 = 32g 1 x 12 = 12g + 2 x 16 = 32g 12 32 = 44g GCSE/A Level Chemistry
Balancing Equations What happens if the masses are not equal/ Then the equation needs to be balanced. Carbon Monoxide Oxygen = + Carbon = 2C + O2 2CO 2 x 12 = 24g 2 x 16 = 32g 2 x 12 = 24g + 2 x 16 = 32g = 56g 24 32 GCSE/A Level Chemistry
