Explanation:
To balance a chemical equation, there are so many approaches to solve the problem.
A balanced chemical equation is one that obeys the law of conservation of matter.
According to this law "matter is neither created nor destroyed by atoms are just rearranged in chemical reaction".
This implies implies that equal number of atoms must be on both sides of the equation.
There are two main approaches to balancing chemical equation;
- Inspection
- mathematical equation
We can inspect the equation and affix the proper coefficients to combining species.
Mathematically, we establish simple solvable algebraic equations to find the number of respective coefficients that will balance the equation:
For example:
H₂ + O₂ → H₂O
mathematically;
aH₂ + bO₂ → cH₂O
conserving:
H : 2a = 2c
O: 2b = c
let a = 1
c = 1
b =
multiply by 2 to give;
a = 2, b = 1 , c= 2
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
