Is this equation
balanced?
• NaCl + H2O NaOH + Cl2
• left side has 1Na, 1Cl, 2H,
and 1O
• right side has 1Na, 1O, 1H,
and 2Cl
• NO!!!!!! It is not
balanced!!
Is this equation
balanced?
• HCl + NaOH NaCl+ H2O
• left side has 2H, 1Cl, 1Na,
and 1O
• right side has 1Na, 1Cl, 2H,
and 1O
• Yes!!!!!! It is
balanced!!
Is this equation
balanced?
• Ca + H2O Ca(OH)2 + H2
• left side has 1Ca, 2H, 1O
• right side has 1Ca, 2O, 4H
• No!!!!!! It is not balanced!!
Ca + 2 H2O Ca(OH)2 + H2
(be sure you write the “2” on your worksheet!)
What is balanced in a
chemical equation?
Three things
are
balanced in
a chemical
equation:
1. Atoms
2. Mass
3. Charge
• For now, you will only be
concerned with balancing atoms.
Remember, the number of atoms
of each element on the reactants
side must equal the number of
atoms of each element on the
products side!
The End
Let’s practice!
