CHEMICAL REACTIONS

Types of Reactions

• Synthesis
• Decomposition
• Single Replacement
• Double Replacement
• Combustion

Balanced Equation

• A balanced equation is when each side of an equation has the same number of atoms of each element

Law of Conservation of Mass

• The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed, instead it is conserved

Balancing equations

• predict the products
• count/compare the number of atoms in the reactants and the products
• balance using coefficients
• check each polyatomic ion
• be sure that the coefficients are in the lowest possible ratio
