Balanced chemical equations Flashcards
How to balance an equation
Make the atomic numbers equal to balance e.g. 1+ and 1-
but 3- and 4+ wouldn’t work due to different numbers
Some chemical processes to learn
metal + acid -> salt + hydrogen metal oxide + acid -> salt + water metal hydroxide + acid -> metal salt + water metal carbonate + acid -> salt + carbon dioxide + water
Some more
metal + acid -> salt + hydrogen metal oxide + acid -> salt + water metal hydroxide + acid -> metal salt + water metal carbonate + acid -> salt + carbon dioxide + water
group 7 element + hydrogen -> hydrogen halide (acidic) group 7 element + metal -> metal halide
Some more more
metal + oxygen (air) -> metal oxide group 1 metal + water -> group 1 metal hydroxide + hydrogen group 2 metal + water -> group 2 metal hydroxide + hydrogen magnesium + steam -> magnesium oxide + hydrogen metal oxide + water -> metal hydroxide
