Chemical Equations Because of the principle of the conservation of matter, An equation must be balanced. It must have the same number of atoms of the same kind on both sides. Lavoisier, 1788

Balancing Chemical Equations Balanced Equation – one in which the number of atoms of each element as a reactant is equal to the number of atoms of that element as a product What is the relationship between conservation of mass and the fact that a balanced equation will always have the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of an equation? Determine whether the following equation is balanced. 2 Na + H2O 2 NaOH + H2 2 Na + 2 H2O 2 NaOH + H2
Balancing Chemical Equations Example NO(g) + O2(g) NO2(g) • is it balanced? • 2NO(g) + O2(g) 2NO2(g)
Balancing Chemical Equations An important point to remember • 2NO(g) + O2(g) 2NO2(g) • The 2 to the left of NO(g) and NO2(g) refers to the number of molecules present in the balanced equation. • It is a “multiplier” for every atom in the molecule. The subscript 2 in O2 (g) and NO2(g) refers to the number of atoms of this type that are present in each molecules (or ionic compound).
