    Balancing Chemical Equations

    A chemical equation is balanced when the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side equals the number of atoms of that element on the product side. This ensures that the law of conservation of mass is upheld during a chemical reaction.

    How to Balance Equations

    To balance an equation, you adjust the stoichiometric coefficients, which are the numbers before each chemical formula, until the number of atoms of each element is identical on both sides.

    Balance the equation: H3BO3 → HBO2 + H2O

    The equation is balanced when there are 4 hydrogen atoms, 3 boron atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms on both sides.

    Balance the equation: P4 + H2O → PH3 + H3PO4

    The balanced equation is P4 + 16 H2O → 4 PH3 + 4 H3PO4. This equation has 4 phosphorus atoms, 32 hydrogen atoms, and 16 oxygen atoms on each side.
