Click the game tab at the bottom of the simulation and select level 1. (there is no seesaw balance for this part of the activity
.) balance the first equation, and click check to see if you got it right. if you can't balance it in the first try, you can try again. work through the five equations for level 1. click continue to go on to level 2, and later level 3. each level is more difficult than the one before. keep trying until all the equations are balanced. in one or two sentences, describe how you did in the balancing game. in a few more sentences, explain one strategy you learned for balancing more complex equations.
The strategy for balancing the equations is by looking at the number of atoms on each side of the equation and adding coefficients to the molecules.
<h3>What is a balanced equation?</h3>
A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction where the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for the reactants and the products,
A strategy that will help balance equations more quickly is balancing by inspection. Here, you look at how many atoms you have on each side of the equation and add coefficients to the molecules to balance out the number of atoms.
