STRATEGIES FOR BALANCING EQUATIONS
- Balance chemical equations by following these steps:
- Trial and error will work but can be very inefficient.
- Balance compounds first and elements last.
- Balance one compound at a time.
- Only add coefficients; NEVER change subscripts.
- If H and O appear in more than one place, attempt to balance them LAST.
- Polyatomic ions (such as SO42–) can often be balanced as a whole group.
- Always double-check after you think you are finished.
