Balancing Chemical Equations

Slide 2

CA Standards

Students know how to describe chemical reactions by writing balanced equations.

Slide 3

Law of Conservation of Mass

In ordinary chemical reactions, the total mass of reacting substances is equal to the total mass of products

All atoms on the reactant side must appear on the product side, and in equal numbers

No new elements may appear

No elements may disappear
