Format Method - Writing the symbol of the cation and then the anion. Add whatever subscripts in order to balance the charges.
Crisscross Method - The numerical value of the charge of each ion is crossed over and becomes the subscripts for the other ion.
You have to make all the elements on one side the same as the other. For example, with water (which is H2O) H2 combines with O2 so the reaction is H2 + O2 = H2O but you see there are only 2 O on the right side so you have to put a 2 in front H2 + O2 = 2xH20 but now there's 4 H's on the right so you have to put a 2 in front of the Hb on the left 2xH2 + O2 = 2xH2O now the equation is balanced 4 H's and 2 O's on each side!
You can write it in words, or in chemical symbols. In the latter case you must use correct chemical formulae and show balancing numbers, so it's often called a balanced equation.
e.g. magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide
2Mg +O2 --> 2MgO
- classic equation
- full ionic equation
- net ionic equation
crisscross method and format method
A chemical formula tells you the number of each type of atom in the molecule or structure.
There is none. Dish soap and water form a mixture. Mixtures do not have chemical formulas.
write down the formula for any substance entering into reaction.place the (+) sign between the formulas as needed and put the yield after the last one.
The names and chemical formulas for five compounds in which Krypton exists are Krypton Tetrachloride (KrCl4), Krypton Difluoride (KrF2), Krypton Hexabromine (KrBr6), Krypton Dichromate (Kr2Cr2O7), Krypton Chromate (KrCrO4)

balance chemical equation, change only the coefficients of the formulas.
numbers in front of chemical formulas to help balance the equation
The molar mass is not needed to balance a chemical reaction.You need to know the chemical formulas of reactants, the possible formulas of products, valences of elements and ions, general principles of chemical reactions, some chemical and physical properties of substances involved in the reaction.
It is necessary to balance the relation between reactants and products. You need to know these compounds, chemical formulas, valences.
No, elements are the makeups of chemical formulas. No, elements are the makeups of chemical formulas.
Chemical Formulas
All chemical formulas are called chemical notations. They represent the elements and the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.
The metals by themselves do not have chemical formulas, they have chemical symbols which are shown on the periodic table of the elements. They only have chemical formulas if they are chemically bonded to another element, usually a nonmetal.
The reactants are written on the left side of the equation, while the products are written on the right side. The equation is balanced by adjusting the coefficients in front of the chemical formulas so that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides.
the sides should balance each other out, so zero. not ten
False. Subscript cannot be change to balance chemical equations. Only coefficients can be added to balance chemical equation.
Jean Beguin was the first iatrochemist to balance a chemical equation.
