Chemical reactions are written using a chemical equation • 2Mg + O2 2MgO “yields” reactantsproducts
Law of Conservation of Mass The mass of the productsMUST be equal to the mass of the reactants.
When you write a chemical equation, you MUST observe the law of conservation of mass – the equation MUST be balanced
2Mg + O2 2MgO Mg – 2 Mg – 2 O – 2 O – 2 Br2 + NaI I2 + NaBr Br – 2 Br -1 NO! Na – 1 Na – 1 I – 1 I - 2 YES!
