Balancing Chemical Equations by Bryce W

What if the world and its reactions weren’t balanced?

We have been balancing chemical equations for the last couple weeks and it was complicated at first, but now I have it in the bag. Balancing chemical equations is meaning taking the equation and making it fall under the law of conservation of mass. The law of conservation of mass states that matter is not created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. Thus meaning that the equation has to be equal on both sides. Everything in nature is trying to balance and be equal, so this is why the equations need to be balanced.

  The thing I found most interesting about balancing equations was how the whole process worked. When first learning about the subject I was severely confused and didn’t want to do it, but once I learned how the process works I was pretty amazed with them.

3 Interesting Facts:

1.    There are different actions that can come from chemical reactions

2.    In chemical reactions, the amounts of the different reactants and different products can sometimes be unequal to each other

3.    A chemical equation describes what happens in a chemical reaction
