Question
1. Observe: To model how hydrogen and oxygen react to make water, type "H2+02" into the
Reactants box and "H20" into the Products box.
As the equation is written, which element is not in balance?
Explain:
2. Balance: To balance a chemical equation, you are not allowed to change the chemical
formulas of the substances involved in the reaction. You are allowed to change the number
of molecules of each substance by adding coefficients in front of the formulas.
A. To balance the oxygen atoms, add a "2" in front of the "H20" in the Products box.
How many oxygen atoms are found on each side of the equation now?
B. To balance the hydrogen atoms, add a "2" in front of the "H2" in the Reactants box.
How many
drogen atoms are found on each side of the equation now?
C. Is this equation currently balanced?

3. Apply: Now enter a more complex chemical reaction: Ca(OH)2 + HBr CaBr2 + H₂O. List
the numbers of each element in the tables below:
