How Do You Write Balanced Chemical Equations?

0

Write balanced chemical equations by adjusting the number of atoms on each side of the equation to be equal. That’s easier said than done, you say. A balanced chemical equation gives the important information of how many atoms are involved, and the mass of the elements involved in the reaction. Read on to learn how to write balanced chemical equations. Know that many chemical reactions balance best by trial and error. Here you find a few helpful guidelines, but you still need to be flexible. Review nomenclature rules for naming ionic and molecular compounds. See Resources below for a helpful website. (See “How To Name Ionic Compounds” and “How To Name Molecular Compounds,” under Related eHows.) Write a simple skeletal equation of the formula from the words given. Use your nomenclature skills as reviewed above, here. Balance atoms in the most complex molecules first, and the simplest forms (such as single elements) last. This often will make the balancing process shorter. Make the numbe
