Cl2 2Cl 2Cl2
Purpose: Students will be able to balance chemical equations.
Warm-up: What’s the difference between the three formulas below?
one molecule two atoms two molecules
• Molecules may also have brackets to indicate numbers of atoms. E.g. Ca(OH)2• Notice that the OH is a group• The 2 refers to both H and O
O H
O H
Ca
• How many of each atom are in the following?a) NaOHb) Ca(OH)2c) 3Ca(OH)2
Na = 1, O = 1, H = 1Ca = 1, O = 2, H = 2
Ca = 3, O = 6, H = 6
Counting Atoms
Balancing Equations: MgO• Law of Conservation of Mass: matter can neither
be created or destroyed
• Since atoms cannot be created or destroyed, they are only rearranged in a chemical reaction
• The number of atoms must be the same on both sides!
Example: Magnesium + OxygenMg + O2 MgO
• However, this is not balanced• Left: Mg = 1, O = 2• Right: Mg = 1, O = 1
O Mg O+ Mg O
Balancing Equations: MgO
• However, this is not balanced• Left: Mg = 1, O = 2• Right: Mg = 1, O = 1
O Mg O+ Mg O
Balancing Equations: MgO
From: Mg + O2 MgO 2Mg + O2 2MgO is correctMg + ½O2 MgO is incorrectMg2 + O2 2MgO is incorrect4Mg + 2 O2 4MgO is incorrect
