    1) The document discusses writing and balancing chemical equations. It defines key parts of a chemical equation like reactants, products, and state symbols. 2) It provides a 5 step process for balancing chemical equations: 1) write the chemical equation, 2) write the chemical formulae, 3) insert state symbols, 4) count atoms on each side, 5) balance the equation by adding coefficients. 3) It gives examples of balancing several chemical equations and encourages practicing balancing more equations. The overall goal is to teach how to accurately write and balance chemical equations.

    CHEMICAL EQUATION
    a symbolic representation of a chemical

    BALANCING
    CHEMICAL
    EQUATIONS
    When writing an
    equation, it must balance
    so that the total number
    of atoms of each element
    on each side of the arrow
    is the same.

    The law of conservation of matter says that in


    chemical reactions, the total mass of the products
    must equal the total mass of the reactants.
