Chemical Reactions: Conservation of Energy and Matter

interactive iconSelf-Check: Balancing Chemical Equations

See if you can balance the equations below. Drag and drop a number to each blank place to fill in the correct coefficients for balanced equations. If you are correct, the number will stay in place. If you are incorrect, the number will bounce back. Make sure you are comfortable working through these equations and understand where the numbers come from in each equation. A number may be used more than once. You may want to write down a table that shows the numbers of atoms of each element in the products and reactants.
