They use chemical equations.
How do you balance chemical equations in easy way?
Balance everything other than H and O first. Once everything else is balanced, balance hydrogen and then oxygen last
What is a website to balance chemical equations?
GO to Google.com and type in balancing chemical equations and click the 3rd one. It balances it for you. Just type in the formula. :]
Which instrument would a scientists use to measure out an exact mass of a dry chemical?
A Scientist would use a balance, either triple-beam or electronic.
How do you balance a combustion reaction?
Combustion reaction equations balance the same way that any other chemical equation does. Every atom that appears on the left side of the equation must also appear on the right side of the equation. No atoms are created or destroyed in the process of a chemical reaction.
