The document provides examples of balancing chemical equations, word equations written as chemical equations, and their answers.

To balance a chemical equation, adjust the coefficients of the reactants and products so that the number of each type of atom is the same on both sides of the equation.

Examples given are the balancing of equations like: 1) 1 N2 + 3 H2 → 2 NH3
