Balancing Equation in

a Chemical Reaction
What to
expect??

understand the importance of


balancing chemical equations and
develop skills in balancing equations
through hands-on activities, visual
aids, and collaborative learning.
Let’s Look Back!

• Do you still remember our


lesson in chemical reaction?

• Can you cite some roles


of chemical reaction in
our everyday life?
Law of Conservation of
Mass
“matter cannot be created or
destroyed, but it can change forms”

 the law is used to balance chemical


equations.

 the number and type of atoms must


be the same for both reactants and
products.
H3PO4 + KOH K3PO4 + H2O

Is this chemical
equation balanced?

Why do think a chemical


equation needs to be balanced?
Steps to Balance
Chemical Equation

CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2O

If you count the number of atoms


(subscript) of C,H,O on both sides
of the equation, you will see that
the reactant side. There are 1
atom of carbon, 4 hydrogen and 2
oxygen
Steps to Balance
Chemical Equation

CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2O

On the product side, there


are 1 atom of carbon, 2
hydrogen and 3 atoms of
oxygen.
Steps to Balance
Chemical Equation

CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2O

We must change the amount of


the reactants and products, as
necessary, by adding
coefficients in front of the
formula/s
Steps to Balance
Chemical Equation

CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2O

Never change the


subscripts, because that
changes the substance.
Steps to Balance
Chemical Equation

CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2O

To determine the number


of atoms, the coefficient is
multiplied time the
subscript in each formula

** If there is no coefficient, it is
understood to be 1
Steps to Balance
Chemical Equation

CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O

The balanced equation for the


combustion of methane

___ C + ___ S8 ___ CS2

___ Na + ___ O2 ___ Na2O

___ N2 + ___ O2 ___ N2O5


Group
Work!
Let’s Sum it Up!
 What would be the real-world
consequences of unbalanced
equations in a chemical
reaction?
 What do you think is the
importance of balancing chemical
equations and how it relates to the
law of conservation of mass.
Quiz
Time!
Balance the given equation.

1. _C + _S8 _CS2
