Rules for Balancing <strong>Chemical</strong> <strong>Equations</strong>- You can only change the coefficients.- You can NOT add new atoms or molecules intothe equation (doesn’t apply to REDOX reactions –see later).- You can NOT change the chemical formulas toforce a balanced equation.- Usually done by trial <strong>and</strong> error (see page 115 fora strategy if you find this tricky at first)<strong>Chemical</strong> Reactions
