Balancing Equations

Study examples and create balanced equations from the word equations given. Great explanations are given to help the procedure. Explanations are followed by nine questions with space on the paper for answers. Great resource!

Practice of balancing equations and identifying the reaction types is very useful. The first 20 have both sides of the equation provided, and the last 15 expect the students to complete the reaction as well as balancing.  There are no...

The first half of equations for twenty reactions are given and your class should be able to predict the products and write the balanced equations. The equations are split into two types; single replacement and double replacement. This...

Starting with 9 questions of balancing practice, the sheet continues with 36 possible combinations of compounds that can be created from the ions given.  The supplied table should be completed with those correctly written formulas.  To...

Although only 4 slides long, this brief presentation summarizes how to balance equations very clearly.  There is an example of how to balance equations incorrectly, followed by some rules and guidelines that show the correct method. ...

Sal continues his look at "Stoichiometry," which is the calculation of measureable relationships of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction. Sal sets up a balanced chemical equation and then, using the Periodic Table of...

Sal introduces students of chemistry to "Stoichiometry," which is the calculation of measureable relationships of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction. Sal sets up a balanced chemical equation and then, using the Periodic...

Make the microscopic world of chemical reactions come to life. An engaging video demonstrates a methane-oxygen reaction. Learners see the reaction take place and observe the chemical equation being balanced. 

Just like the old saying goes, "What goes in must come out." This simulation allows pupils to balance chemical equations. The introduction gives three examples before scholars switch to game mode, pick their level, and continue to...

This short video simply explains the Conservation of Mass with graphics that show the atoms being conserved in pictures of balanced equations. The connection between mass and energy is explained and Einstein's energy equation is mentioned.
