Balancing Chemical Equations
The process of ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of a chemical equation.
Skeleton Equation
An unbalanced chemical equation that shows the reactants and products without indicating the relative amounts.
Coefficient
A number placed in front of a chemical formula to balance a chemical equation.
Reactants
The starting substances in a chemical reaction.
Products
The substances that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
Balanced Equation
An equation that has the same number of each type of atom on both sides.
Chemical Reaction
A process that involves the rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance.
What is the purpose of balancing chemical equations?
To ensure the conservation of mass by having equal numbers of atoms for each element on both sides of the equation.
In the equation _2 NaOH + _1 H2CO3 → 1_ Na2CO3 + _2 H2O, what are the reactants?
NaOH and H2CO3.
How many coefficients are needed in a complete balanced equation?
They vary depending on the specific reaction and substances involved.
