Balancing a chemical equations is much like the work of an accountant who has to show where every penny has come from and where it has gone to.

Coefficient
Mass (particles) can neither be created or destroyed in any chemical reaction
Word Definition
2 NaOH + H2SO4 Na2SO4 + 2 H2O
Conservation of Mass = the same number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation.

The number in front of the formula indicating how many molecules
Word Definition
Coefficient = The number in front of each formula or element indicating how many molecules
2 NaOH + H2SO4 Na2SO4 + 2 H2O
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is neither created or destroyed in any chemical reaction.
Therefore balancing of equations requires the same number of atoms on both sides of a chemical reaction.
1. Get Yourself an unbalanced equation.
NaOH + H2SO4 Na2SO4 + H2O
1. Get Yourself an unbalanced equation.
2. Draw boxes around all the chemical formulas.
NaOH + H2SO4 Na2SO4 + H2O
3. Make an element inventory.
Element Before After
Na=Sodium 1 2
O= Oxygen 5 5
H= Hydrogen 3 2
S= Sulfur 1 1
NaOH + H2SO4 Na2SO4 + H2O
4. Write the numbers in front of each of the boxes until the inventory for each element is the same both before and after the reaction.
NaOH + H2SO4 Na2SO4 + H2O
Element Before After
Sodium 1 2
Oxygen 5 5
Hydrogen 3 2
Sulfur 1 1
