Law of Equilibrium

Think of a chemical reaction as any math equation like 2 + 8 = 10. This is true since there are 10 units on the left as well as the right.

This is exactly like a chemical equation C + O2 --> CO2

On the left side we have 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. On the right side we have 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms so this is saying that both sides have the same amount of each atom.

If it was unequal it would look like C + O2 --> C2O2

Left side has 1 carbon and two oxygen atoms but the right side has 2 carbon atoms and 2 oxygen atoms. 3 is not equal to 4.

What do you know about types of atoms before and after a reaction?

Assuming that you are referring to chemical reactions, we know that atoms are not changed by chemical reactions (except for their oxidation states). That means that all the same types of atoms are present after the reactions as were there before the reactions. The type of an atom is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.

How can one tell if a chemical reaction is balanced?

If it is balanced then the mass (amount) of elements on each side of the arrow will be equal.count the number of molecules of each element on each side of the equation. they need to all be equal.An example:H2 + O2 -> H2O2There are two H's on the left hand side and two on the right hand side, so the H's are balanced.The same is for the O's.==> The equation is balancedAnd remember that the arrow is a yield sign in an equation.


How do you solve a chemical reactions?

It is necessary to balance the relation between reactants and products. You need to know these compounds, chemical formulas, valences.


How do you calculate the masses of chemical reactants and products in a chemical reaction?

The term used to describe the calculation of the quantities of reactants and products in a chemical reaction is stoichemistry. It is the calculation of quantitative (measurable) relationships of the reactants and products in a balanced chemical reaction.
