What are the 4 steps to balancing an equation?

  • Write the skeleton equation

  • Count the atoms on both sides of the reaction. Polyatomic ions are counted as a group ONLY if its present on BOTH sides

  • Balance the equations by adding coefficients to make the number of atoms on both sides the same

  • CHECK YOUR WORK BY COUNTING EACH ELEMENT TO MAKE SURE THEY’RE EVEN ON BOTH SIDES
