Mr. Quinn & Ms. Tom February 4, 2014Aim: How do we balance chemical equations?Do Now: What is the total number of each atom on either side of this balanced chemical equation?6 CO2 + 6 H2O C6H12O6+ 6 O2
The L.A.S.T Method • List your elements • Add up atoms on each side • Start from left to right • Test Results
Example 1 Zn + O2ZnO
Example 2 C4H10+ O2 CO2 +H2O
Example 3 FeCl3+ MgCO3Fe2(CO3) 3 + MgCl2
Example 4 Na + Zn(NO3)2 Zn + NaNO3
