Potassium Iodide and Lead Nitrate are mixed to form a precipitate (solid). After the reaction the mass of the flask will • Increase • Decrease • Stay the same
Chemical Reactions Shown by chemical equations 4 Cu (s) + 1 O2 (g) 2 Cu2O (s) coefficients
s l g aq yields, reacts to form reversible reaction heat is added solid liquid gas aqueous (dissolved in water) Symbols
Sides? Reactant(s) Product(s) 2Fe + O2 2FeO “Rust”
Why Balance? • To show that the law of conservation of mass is satisfied • To know the proportions the elements and compounds react in
