Question

Balance the following chemical equation using the steps in balancing
equations.

1. Fe + Na Br
→ Fe Brz + Na
2. H2 + O2
→ H2 O
3. Hg O
--→ Hg + O2
Transcribed Image Text:1. Fe + Na Br → Fe Brz + Na 2. H2 + O2 → H2 O 3. Hg O --→ Hg + O2
BALANCING EQUATIONS:
Steps in balancing equations:
Take note of the elements present in the
reactant and product side
Example:
Na CI + Ba O
Ва Cla
Count the number of atom/s of each
element present in the reactant and
product side
Products
Reactants
Na
CI
Na
→ Naz o +
Ва
Ва
CI
Na ---- 1 atom
Na
--- 2 atoms
CI
-
1 atom
1 atom
Ва
CI -------- 2 atoms
Ва
--- 1 atom
1 atom
------- 1 atom
Apply the Law of Conservation of
Mass to get the same number of atoms
of every element on each side of the
equation.
1. Ba and O appear to balanced, proceed to balanced
Na & CI
2. To balanced Na & CI, find their LCM (Least Common
Multiple) which is 2,1
3. The LCM of 2 & 1 is 2
To check:
Na-- 1 atom x 2 = 2 atoms Na ---2 atoms x 1=2 atoms
CI -- 1 atom x 2 = 2 atoms o -- 1 atom
Ba-- 1 atom
O --- 1 atom
Balance the chemical equations by
placing the appropriate coefficients
before the symbol or formula
Ва -- 1 atom
Do not change the subscripts of the
formula
CI
--- 2 atoms x 1=2 atoms
Supply the numbers 2 as coefficients in the equation
2 Na CI + Ba O -------→ 1 Na, O + Ba Cl,
The chemical equation is now
balanced.It follows the Law of
2 Na CI + Ba o
-3 Naz O + Bа Clz
Conservation of Mass.
