Question

Write down the steps involved in balancing a chemical equation with the help of one chemical equation in your notebook.​

Answer 1

STEPS INVOLVED IN BALANCING A CHEMICAL EQUATION ARE-

• First, Identify every element setup in the equation. The amount of atoms of each type of atom should be the same on every side of the equation once it has been balanced.

• Should check what is the net charge on each side of the equation. The net charge should be same on every side of the equation once it has been balanced.

• Initiate with an element ground in one compound on every side of the equation. Change the coefficients so that the number of atoms of the element is the same on every side of the equation. Coefficient is defined as the the numbers in front of the compound or molecule.

• Never change subscripts in the formulas.wgile balancing the equation, just change the coefficient.

• When you balance one element, do the similar thing with other element as well. Continue balancing until all elements have been balanced. It's simplest to leave elements found in pure form for last.

• Check balancing again to make certain the charge on both sides of the equation is also equal.

As an example-

? CH4 + ? O2 → ? CO2 + ? H2O

The balanced will be-

CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O.
