Reversible reaction – a chemical ________ in which the products __-_____ the original reactants.

Catalyst – ______ up a reaction _______ being used up ______ the reaction.

The coefficients indicate ________ not ________ amts.

The relative ______ can be determined by the rxn’s ___________.

The _______ rxn has the same relative _______ of substances as the _______ rxn.

1. Write the unbalanced formula eqn.

2. Count the # of each element3. Insert coefficients for atoms4. Check to make sure both

sides are the same.

1. Delay balancing elements (like H and O) that occur in several reactants or products.

2. If the same polyatomic ions appear on both sides of the equation, treat them as single units, like monatomic ions.

3. After considering 1&2, balance elements left to right.

4. Remember, balancing 1 element may unbalance others.

5. For ionic equations, be sure charges are balanced.

Ammonia plus oxygen yields nitrogen monoxide plus water plus heat.

_____ equationsNeed to make sure ionic _______ are balanced

HCl + H2O Cl- + H3O+
