Chemical Reaction
When magnesium ribbon is strongly heated in the
presence of oxygen it burns with a dazzling white flame
and forms white magnesium oxide powder.

Reactants(s) -> Substances that undergo a chemical

change/chemical reaction.

Products(s) -> Substances formed as a result of

chemical change.
Word reaction: Magnesium + Oxygen Magnesium oxide

A shorter an faster way of representing a chemical reaction in terms of

symbols and formulae of the different reactants and products is called
a chemical equation.
Skeletal chemical
Mg + O2 MgO equation
No of atoms (Reactants) No of atoms (Products)
Balanced chemical equation
Follows the law of conservation of mass wherever written or
represented.

In simpler chemical reactions, mass is neither created nor destroyed,

i.e., mass of reactants is equal to mass of products.

Does skeletal chemical equation follow the law of
conservation of mass?
Yes or NO?

BATAO!!!
Is the following chemical equation balanced

Yes or NO?

BATAO!!!
Lets balance a chemical equation through
hit-and-trial method
Fe + H 2 O Fe 3O4 + H 2
Step 1. Writing the chemical reaction in word form.
Iron + Steam → Magnetite + hydrogen gas

Step 2. Writing the chemical symbols in the form of a skeletal chemical

equation.
Lets balance a chemical equation through
hit-and-trial method
Fe + H 2 O Fe 3O4 + H 2
Step 3. Enclose the chemical symbol(s) and formulae in boxes, this
ensures the subscript of the symbol or formula is not changed in order
to make the number of atoms the same on both sides of the chemical
equation.
Lets balance a chemical equation through
hit-and-trial method
Fe + H 2 O Fe 3O4 + H 2
Step 4. List the number of atoms of different elements.

Element Number of atoms (Reactants) Number of atoms (Products)

Fe 1 3

H 2 2

0 1 4
Lets balance a chemical equation through
hit-and-trial method
Fe + H 2 O Fe 3O4 + H 2
Step 5. Start balancing the compound (reactant of product) that
contains the maximum number of atoms. In that compound, balance
the element with the maximum number of atoms.
