Ultimate Balancing Equations

Balancing equations can be tough for many students, especially since they require you to build up knowledge of notation, reactants and products, conservation of mass, writing formulae and using coefficients before you get to actually balancing equation. And then you get even trickier things like half equations and ionic equations. This booklet is here to help - it provides a step by step guide on how to balance equations, starting with the simplest things - recognising reactants and products and writing equations from sentences all the way up to balancing equations and half equations. Each step comes with an explanation, at least one example and some exercises. All exercises have answers provided (in the powerpoint) and there are teachers' notes.
