The Law of Conservation of Mass

Matter cannot be created or destroyed. The number of atoms in the reactants must be the same as the products. Atoms don't appear or disappear, they just rearrange. (Hence why you have to balance out chemical equations)

Balancing Equations

• The subscripts in the chemical formula cannot be changed (The little number beside a formula that is part of it).
• Use coefficients to balance.
• Coefficients multiply the entire compound by that number (4PO = 4P 4O).

Example: N₂+O₂>N₂O = 2N₂+O₂>2N₂O

Balancing Word Equations

• Determine what the reactants and the products are, convert names to chemical formulas. (Individual elements that are diatomic (molecular) will be, S₈, P₄, I₂, Br₂, Cl₂, F₂, O₂, N₂, H₂) If it's not diatomic just
