A. Writing a Chemical Equation:
1) __________________________= a representation of the reactants and products in a chemical
reaction
a) ___________________________________ = a chemical equation in which the reactants
and products in a chemical reaction are represented by words

c) ________________________ = whole number that appears to the right and below a
chemical symbol in a chemical formula (if no number is written it is assumed to be “1”)
• Indicates the number of ________________ or ______________________
• Ex: H2O

“yields”; indicates result of a reaction
Indicates a reversible reaction
A reactant or product in the solid state
Alternative to (s); used only for a precipitate (solid) falling out of solution
A reactant or product in the liquid state
A reactant or product in aqueous solution (dissolved in water)
A reactant or product in the gaseous state
Alternative to (g); used only for a gaseous product
Reactants are heated

2) The equation must contain the correct formulas of the reactants and products.
3) A chemical reaction obeys the “Law of Conservation of Matter”
• ____________________________________________________ = matter cannot
be either created or destroyed in ordinary chemical or physical means.
4) Why do we balance equations?
•
The ________________________________________________________must not be violated!

This means you must balance equations. (Equations are balanced by adding
_____________________________________, NOT subscripts.)

5) Atomic theory can be used to explain why chemical reactions obey the “Law of Conservation
of Matter”.
•
_________ atoms present at the start of a chemical reaction are present at the end of

Since no atoms are created or destroyed in a chemical reaction no matter is created or
destroyed in a chemical reaction.

reactants must equal the mass of the products in a chemical reaction.

represented on each side of a chemical equation.
5) Be certain that the coefficients represent the ______________________________possible whole
number ratio of reactants and products.
