For balancing the equation we need to balance the no. of atoms both the side.

» In simple words, the no. of atoms at left side is equal to the no. of atoms at the right side.

=======================================

While balancing a Equation we have to count the no. of atoms both the side and then balance them.

Explanation:

The first step is to write down the unbalanced chemical equation. If you're lucky, this will be given to you. If you're told to balance a chemical equation and only given the names of the products and reactants, you'll need to either look them up or apply rules of naming compounds to determine their formulas.

Let's practice using a reaction from real life, the rusting of iron in the air. To write the reaction, you need to identify the reactants (iron and oxygen) and the products (rust). Next, write the unbalanced chemical equation:

Fe + O2 → Fe2O3

Note the reactants always go on the left side of the arrow. A "plus" sign separates them. Next, there is an arrow indicating the direction of the reaction (reactants become products). The products are always on the right side of the arrow. The order in which you write the reactants and products is not important.

Write Down Number of Atoms

The next step for balancing the chemical equation is to determine how many atoms of each element are present on each side of the arrow:

Fe + O2 → Fe2O3

To do this, keep in mind a subscript indicates the number of atoms. For example, O2 has 2 atoms of oxygen. There are 2 atoms of iron and 3 atoms of oxygen in Fe2O3. There is 1 atom in Fe. When there is no subscript, it means there is 1 atom.

On the reactant side:

1 Fe

2 O

On the product side:

2 Fe

3 O

How do you know the equation isn't already balanced? Because the number of atoms on each side isn't the same! Conservation of Mass states mass isn't created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, so you need to add coefficients in front of the chemical formulas to adjust the number of atoms so they will be the same on both sides.

There is a strategy that will help you balance equations more quickly. It is called balancing by inspection. Basically, you look at how many atoms you have on each side of the equation and add coefficients to the molecules to balance out the number of atoms.

Balance atoms present in a single molecule of reactant and product first.

Balance any oxygen or hydrogen atoms last.
