Catalyst 1. Balance the following reaction: … C +… S8 … CS2 2. Reactants are on the ________side, products on the ________side. (leftor right) 3. In the compound, 4H2O, what is the 4 telling you?
Remember… Why do we have to balance chemical reactions? Law of Conservation of Mass!
Balancing with a little extra… What if you have some polyatomic ions, like (NO3)? WHAT will you do?? When balancing equations that involve polyatomic ions, keep them together!
Work it out… • H3(PO4) + K(OH) K3(PO4) + H2O • Which polyatomics are we using? • PO4- phosphate • OH- hydroxide • Where is the OH on the other side? • In the H2O! It can be written as HOH.
Balance It! __H3(PO4) + __K(OH) __K3(PO4) + __H2O
Your turn In your notes, try these problems: …Na(OH) + …H2(CO3) …Na2(CO3) + …H2O …Al(OH)3+ …H2(CO3) …Al2(CO3)3 +…H2O

Exit Slip 1. Balance the following reaction: __Ca+ __HNO3→ __H2+ __Ca(NO3)2 2. __Ca(NO3)2 + __Na2S __CaS + __NaNO3 When the equation representing the reaction above is completed and balanced and all coefficients are reduced to lowest whole-number terms, the coefficient for NaNO3 is: a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 d. 4
