Worksheet: Balancing Equations
I.
KEY
Name __________________
Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate term:
chemical
equation
A ________________
________________
tells the story of a chemical
Reactants
reaction. ________________
are the starting substances in the reaction
products
while ________________
are the new substances that are formed. The
large
numbers
in
front
of
some
of
the
formulas
are
called
coefficients
balance
________________.
These numbers are used to ________________
the
equation
because
chemical
reactions
must
obey
the
Law
of
Conservation
________________
of Matter. The number of atoms of each element on
equal
both sides of the equation must be ________________
because matter
created
destroyed
cannot be ________________
or ________________.
When balancing
coefficients
equations, the only numbers that can be changed are ________________;
formulas / subscripts
remember that ________________
must never be changed in order to
balance an equation.
