Because of the principle of the 12 H = 12 H
conservation of matter,
10 O = 10 O
an equation must be
balanced.

Balancing Equations
There are four basic steps to balancing a chemical

side. Compare those against the number of the atoms
of the same element on the right side.
• Changing the subscripts changes the 3. Determine where to place coefficients in front of

atoms as the right side for EACH element in order to

– The numbers of atoms on both sides of the
covalent) equation are now balanced.
– The coefficients are in the lowest possible
whole number ratios. (reduced)
Some Suggestions to Help You Ex: Steps in Balancing An
Some of Helpful Hints for balancing equations: Equation
• Take one element at a time, working left to
right except for H and O. Save H for next Fe3O4 + H2 Fe + H2O
to last, and O until last.
• IF everything balances except for O, and Fe: Fe3O4 + H2 3 Fe + H2O
there is no way to balance O with a whole
number, double all the coefficients and try
again. (Because O is diatomic as an O: Fe3O4 + H2 3 Fe + 4 H2O
element)
• (Shortcut) Polyatomic ions that appear on H: Fe3O4 + 4 H2 3 Fe + 4 H2O
both sides of the equation should be
balanced as independent units

1. Synthesis reactions
Types of Reactions
• There are five types of chemical • Synthesis reactions occur when two
reactions we will talk about: substances (generally elements)
1. Synthesis reactions combine and form a compound.
2. Decomposition reactions (Sometimes these are called
3. Combustion reactions combination or addition reactions.)
4. Single displacement reactions
reactant + reactant 1 product
5. Double displacement reactions
• Basically: A + B AB
• You need to be able to identify the type
of reaction and predict the product(s) • Example: 2H2 + O2 2H2O
• Example: C + O2 CO2

form a single compound.

2. Decomposition Reaction
Decomposition Exceptions
a compound is broken down into simpler
compounds or constituent elements
1 Reactant Product + Product • Carbonates and chlorates are special case
• In general: decomposition reactions that do not go
XY X + Y requires energy to the elements.
Example: • Carbonates (CO32-) decompose to carbon
dioxide and a metal oxide
HYDROLYSIS - decompose water • Example: CaCO3 CO2 + CaO
with electricity - hydrogen
fuel cells • Chlorates (ClO3-) decompose to oxygen gas
2H2O(l) 2H2(g) + O2(g) and a metal chloride
