Part C. BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATIONS
Consider getting the total mass of the reactants and the product below:
H2 + O2 H 2O where: H= 1 g O= 16 g
(Reactants) (Product)
=H=
____ = O = _____
Total mass:
-How do you compare the total mass of the reactants with the mass of the product?
-Is the chemical equation correct? Why or why not?
-How are we going to correct the chemical equation above?
Following the rules in balancing chemical equation above, can you balance the given unbalanced equation
below?
H2 + O2 H 2O
