Chemical Equations – Closure
4 steps to write a balanced chemical equation

Step 1 : Write the word equation from the reaction

Step 2 : Write the correct formula for the
reactants and products
Step 3 : Balance the chemical equation

Step 3a : Change the coefficient to make both the

reactants and products have the equal
number of atoms of the same elements
Step 4 : Write the physical state symbols of the
21 reactants and products
