CAVA chem 302 303 S1U5L2 Balancing Chemical Equations

QuestionAnswer
Any chemical equation you write to explain a chemical reaction must show that the mass of the products is equal to the mass of the [...]. Any chemical equation you write to explain a chemical reaction must show that the mass of the products is equal to the mass of the reactants.
Balanced Equations: for each type of atom, the number of atoms on the reactant side of the equation must equal the number of atoms on the [...] side. for each type of atom, the number of atoms on the reactant side of the equation must equal the number of atoms on the product side.
A balanced equation reflects the law of conservation of [...]. A balanced equation reflects the law of conservation of mass.
You can balance a chemical equation by changing the [...] and only the [...]! You can balance a chemical equation by changing the coefficients and only the coefficients!
[...] are the numbers to the LEFT of the entire molecule, compound, or atom. Coefficients are the numbers to the LEFT of the entire molecule, compound, or atom.
[...] tell you how many of the molecule, compound, or atom there are. Coefficients tell you how many of the molecule, compound, or atom there are.
Coefficients do not tell you [...]. Coefficients do not tell you what the molecules, compounds, or atoms are.
You can NOT change [...which numbers?...] when balancing an equation. You can NOT change the numbers in subscript (to the bottom right) when balancing an equation.
Changing the numbers in subscript changes the [...] of the molecule or compound. Changing them does not [...] the reaction, it creates a new one. Changing the numbers in subscript changes the identity of the molecule or compound. Changing them does not balance the reaction, it creates a new one.
The best way to become good at balancing equations is to [...]. The best way to become good at balancing equations is to practice balancing them.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
