Getting Started
Q1.Why do we need to balance chemical equations?
Because atoms can't be created or destroyed in a reaction - whatever goes in must come out.
Q2.What's a coefficient in a chemical equation?
The number in front of a chemical formula that tells you how many molecules you have.
Q3.Can you change subscripts to balance an equation?
No! Changing subscripts changes the actual substance. You can only change coefficients.
