Writing Balanced Equations
To balancing equations:1. Write the formulas for the
reactants and products 2. Balance atoms on each side - using
coefficients in front of formulas***Usually leave H atoms followed by O atoms last!

Formulas• Number before a symbol tell you
how many compound units • 2 H2O = H2O + H2O • Subscripts after a symbol tell how
many atoms of that element are in a compound unit and CAN’T BE CHANGED
• H2O = two H atoms and one O 4

EXAMPLE - the conversion of magnesium to magnesium oxide
Magnesium + Oxygen Magnesium oxide
Balance so each side contains:
2 Mg, 2 O = 2 Mg, 2O

EXAMPLE - the combustion (burning) of methane gas (like in a bunsen burner)
Methane + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + Water
CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2O
Notice that each side contains:1 C, 4 H, 2 O = 1 C, 2 H, 3 O
NOT BALANCED!

EXAMPLE - the combustion (burning) of methane gas (like in a bunsen burner)
Methane + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + Water

EXAMPLE - the combustion of butane (lighter fluid)
Butane + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + WaterC4H10 + O2 CO2 + H2O
Each side contains: 4 C, 10 H, 2 O = 1 C, 2 H, 3 O

EXAMPLE:Barium acetate + Sodium phosphate Barium phosphate + Sodium acetate
Ba(C2H3O2)2 + Na3PO4 Ba3(PO4)2 + NaC2H3O2
You can balance by ions if they are present on both sides of the equation - so each side contains:1 Ba+2, 2 C2H3O2
-1, 3 Na+1, 1 PO4-3 =
3 Ba+2, 1 C2H3O2-1, 1 Na+1, 2
PO4-3
