Main IdeasMain IdeasChemical Reactions are represented by Chemical Reactions are represented by Chemical Equations.Chemical Equations.
Chemical Equations are balanced to show Chemical Equations are balanced to show the same number of atoms of each the same number of atoms of each element on each side.element on each side.
The Law of Conservation of Mass says The Law of Conservation of Mass says that atoms won’t be created or destroyed that atoms won’t be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. That is why you in a chemical reaction. That is why you have to balance chemical equations!have to balance chemical equations!

Atoms won’t change their identity (e.g. Atoms won’t change their identity (e.g. a Carbon atom can’t become an Iron a Carbon atom can’t become an Iron atom)atom)
This means that you have to have the This means that you have to have the same number of each type of atom on same number of each type of atom on each side of the chemical equation. each side of the chemical equation.
Balancing EquationsBalancing EquationsAfter you write a chemical equation you have to After you write a chemical equation you have to balance it to make sure that the same number balance it to make sure that the same number
of atoms of each element are on each side.of atoms of each element are on each side.How would you balance this equation?How would you balance this equation?

Balance the Hydrogens:Balance the Hydrogens:
CH4 + O2 CH4 + O2 CO2 + CO2 + 2 2 H2O H2O
Balance the Oxygens: Balance the Oxygens:
CH4 + CH4 + 2 2 O2 O2 CO2 CO2 + + 22 H2OH2O

WARNING!WARNING!Don’t mess with the insides of polyatomic ions – Don’t mess with the insides of polyatomic ions – put a square around them, or label them as X – put a square around them, or label them as X –
treat the WHOLE polyatomic ion as though it were treat the WHOLE polyatomic ion as though it were an element!an element!
