Balancing Chemical Equations: Explanation, Review, and Examples
- The Albert Team
- Last Updated On: March 14, 2023

Of all the skills to know about in chemistry, balancing chemical equations is perhaps the most important to master. So many parts of chemistry depend on this vital skill, including stoichiometry, reaction analysis, and lab work. This comprehensive guide will show you the steps to balance even the most challenging reactions and will walk you through a series of examples, from simple to complex.
The Key to Balancing Chemical Equations
The ultimate goal for balancing chemical equations is to make both sides of the reaction, the reactants and the products, equal in the number of atoms per element. This stems from the universal law of the conservation of mass, which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. So, if we start with ten atoms of oxygen before a reaction, we need to end up with ten atoms of oxygen after a reaction. This means that chemical reactions do not change the actual building blocks of matter; rather, they just change the arrangement of the blocks. An easy way to understand this is to picture a house made of blocks. We can break the house apart and build an airplane, but the color and shape of the actual blocks do not change.
But how do we go about balancing these equations? We know that the number of atoms of each element needs to be the same on both sides of the equation, so it is just a matter of finding the correct coefficients (numbers in front of each molecule) to make that happen. It is best to start with the atom that shows up the least number of times on one side, and balance that first. Then, move on to the atom that shows up the second least number of times, and so on. In the end, make sure to count the number of atoms of each element on each side again, just to be sure.
Example of Balancing a Chemical Equation
Let’s illustrate this with an example by balancing this chemical equation:
P 4 O 10 + H 2 O → H 3 PO 4
First, let’s look at the element that appears least often. Notice that oxygen occurs twice on the left-hand side, so that is not a good element to start out with. We could either start with phosphorus or hydrogen, so let’s start with phosphorus. There are four atoms of phosphorus on the left-hand side, but only one on the right-hand side. So, we can put the coefficient of 4 on the molecule that has phosphorous on the right-hand side to balance them out.
P 4 O 10 + H 2 O → 4 H 3 PO 4
Now we can check hydrogen. We still want to avoid balancing oxygen, because it occurs in more than one molecule on the left-hand side. It is easiest to start with molecules that only appear once on each side. So, there are two molecules of hydrogen on the left-hand side and twelve on the right-hand side (notice that there are three per molecule of H 3 PO 4 , and we have four molecules). So, to balance those out, we have to put a six in front of H 2 O on the left.
P 4 O 10 + 6 H 2 O → 4 H 3 PO 4
At this point, we can check the oxygens to see if they balance. On the left, we have ten atoms of oxygen from P 4 O 10 and six from H 2 O for a total of 16. On the right, we have 16 as well (four per molecule, with four molecules). So, oxygen is already balanced. This gives us the final balanced equation of
Balancing Chemical Equations Practice Problems
Try to balance these ten equations on your own, then check the answers below. They range in difficulty level, so don’t get discouraged if some of them seem too hard. Just remember to start with the element that shows up the least, and proceed from there. The best way to approach these problems is slowly and systematically. Looking at everything at once can easily get overwhelming. Good luck!
- CO 2 + H 2 O → C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2
- SiCl 4 + H 2 O → H 4 SiO 4 + HCl
- Al + HCl → AlCl 3 + H 2
- Na 2 CO 3 + HCl → NaCl + H 2 O + CO 2
- C 7 H 6 O 2 + O 2 → CO 2 + H 2 O
- Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + KOH → K 2 SO 4 + Fe(OH) 3
- Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 + SiO 2 → P 4 O 10 + CaSiO 3
- KClO 3 → KClO 4 + KCl
- Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + Ca(OH) 2 → Al(OH) 3 + CaSO 4
- H 2 SO 4 + HI → H 2 S + I 2 + H 2 O
Complete Solutions:
1. co 2 + h 2 o → c 6 h 12 o 6 + o 2.
The first step to balancing chemical equations is to focus on elements that only appear once on each side of the equation. Here, both carbon and hydrogen fit this requirement. So, we will start with carbon. There is only one atom of carbon on the left-hand side, but six on the right-hand side. So, we add a coefficient of six to the carbon-containing molecule on the left.
6CO 2 + H 2 O → C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2
Next, let’s look at hydrogen. There are two hydrogen atoms on the left and twelve on the right. So, we will add a coefficient of six on the hydrogen-containing molecule on the left.
6CO 2 + 6H 2 O → C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2
Now, it is time to check the oxygen. There are a total of 18 oxygen molecules on the left (6×2 + 6×1). On the right, there are eight oxygen molecules. Now, we have two options to even out the right-hand side: We can either multiply C 6 H 12 O 6 or O 2 by a coefficient. However, if we change C 6 H 12 O 6 , the coefficients for everything else on the left-hand side will also have to change, because we will be changing the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms. To prevent this, it usually helps to only change the molecule containing the fewest elements; in this case, the O 2 . So, we can add a coefficient of six to the O 2 on the right. Our final answer will be:
6CO 2 + 6H 2 O → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2
2. SiCl 4 + H 2 O → H 4 SiO 4 + HCl
The only element that occurs more than once on the same side of the equation here is hydrogen, so we can start with any other element. Let’s start by looking at silicon. Notice that there is only one atom of silicon on either side, so we do not need to add any coefficients yet. Next, let’s look at chlorine. There are four chlorine atoms on the left side and only one on the right. So, we will add a coefficient of four on the right.
SiCl 4 + H 2 O → H 4 SiO 4 + 4HCl
Next, let’s look at oxygen. Remember that we first want to analyze all the elements that only occur once on one side of the equation. There is only one oxygen atom on the left, but four on the right. So, we will add a coefficient of four on the left-hand side of the equation.
SiCl 4 + 4H 2 O → H 4 SiO 4 + 4HCl
We are almost done! Now, we just have to check the number of hydrogen atoms on each side. The left has eight and the right also has eight, so we are done. Our final answer is
As always, make sure to double-check that the number of atoms of each element balances on each side before continuing.
3. Al + HCl → AlCl 3 + H 2
This problem is a bit tricky, so be careful. Whenever a single atom is alone on either side of the equation, it is easiest to start with that element. So, we will start by counting the aluminum atoms on both sides. There is one on the left and one on the right, so we do not need to add any coefficients yet. Next, let’s look at hydrogen. There is also one on the left, but two on the right. So, we will add a coefficient of two on the left.
Al + 2HCl → AlCl 3 + H 2
Next, we will look at chlorine. There are now two on the left, but three on the right. Now, this is not as straightforward as just adding a coefficient to one side. We need the number of chlorine atoms to be equal on both sides, so we need to get two and three to be equal. We can accomplish this by finding the lowest common multiple. In this case, we can multiply two by three and three by two to get the lowest common multiple of six. So, we will multiply 2HCl by three and AlCl 3 by two:
Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl 3 + H 2
We have looked at all the elements, so it is easy to say that we are done. However, always make sure to double-check. In this case, because we added a coefficient to the aluminum-containing molecule on the right-hand side, aluminum is no longer balanced. There is one on the left but two on the right. So, we will add one more coefficient.
2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl 3 + H 2
We are not quite done yet. Looking over the equation one final time, we see that hydrogen has also been unbalanced. There are six on the left but two on the right. So, with one final adjustment, we get our final answer:
2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl 3 + 3H 2
4. Na 2 CO 3 + HCl → NaCl + H 2 O + CO 2
Hopefully, by this point, balancing equations is becoming easier and you are getting the hang of it. Looking at sodium, we see that it occurs twice on the left, but once on the right. So, we can add our first coefficient to the NaCl on the right.
Na 2 CO 3 + HCl → 2NaCl + H 2 O + CO 2
Next, let’s look at carbon. There is one on the left and one on the right, so there are no coefficients to add. Since oxygen occurs in more than one place on the left, we will save it for last. Instead, look at hydrogen. There is one on the left and two on the right, so we will add a coefficient to the left.
Na 2 CO 3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H 2 O + CO 2
Then, looking at chlorine, we see that it is already balanced with two on each side. Now we can go back to look at oxygen. There are three on the left and three on the right, so our final answer is
5. C 7 H 6 O 2 + O 2 → CO 2 + H 2 O
We can start balancing this equation by looking at either carbon or hydrogen. Looking at carbon, we see that there are seven atoms on the left and only one on the right. So, we can add a coefficient of seven on the right.
C 7 H 6 O 2 + O 2 → 7CO 2 + H 2 O
Then, for hydrogen, there are six atoms on the left and two on the right. So, we will add a coefficient of three on the right.
C 7 H 6 O 2 + O 2 → 7CO 2 + 3H 2 O
Now, for oxygen, things will get a little tricky. Oxygen occurs in every molecule in the equation, so we have to be very careful when balancing it. There are four atoms of oxygen on the left and 17 on the right. There is no obvious way to balance these numbers, so we must use a little trick: fractions. Now, when balancing chemical equations, we cannot include fractions as it is not proper form, but it sometimes helps to use them to solve the problem. Also, try to avoid over-manipulating organic molecules. You can easily identify organic molecules, otherwise known as CHO molecules, because they are made up of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. We don’t like to work with these molecules, because they are rather complex. Also, larger molecules tend to be more stable than smaller molecules, and less likely to react in large quantities.
So, to balance out the four and seventeen, we can multiply the O 2 on the left by 7.5. That will give us
C 7 H 6 O 2 + 7.5O 2 → 7CO 2 + 3H 2 O
Remember, fractions (and decimals) are not allowed in formal balanced equations, so multiply everything by two to get integer values. Our final answer is now
2C 7 H 6 O 2 + 15O 2 → 14CO 2 + 6H 2 O
6. Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + KOH → K 2 SO 4 + Fe(OH) 3-
We can start by balancing the iron on both sides. The left has two while the right only has one. So, we will add a coefficient of two to the right.
Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + KOH → K 2 SO 4 + 2Fe(OH) 3-
Then, we can look at sulfur. There are three on the left, but only one on the right. So, we will add a coefficient of three to the right-hand side.
Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + KOH → 3K 2 SO 4 + 2Fe(OH) 3-
We are almost done. All that is left is to balance the potassium. There is one atom on the left and six on the right, so we can balance these by adding a coefficient of six. Our final answer, then, is
Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + 6KOH → 3K 2 SO 4 + 2Fe(OH) 3-
7. Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 + SiO 2 → P 4 O 10 + CaSiO 3
Looking at calcium, we see that there are three on the left and one on the right, so we can add a coefficient of three on the right to balance them out.
Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 + SiO 2 → P 4 O 10 + 3CaSiO 3
Then, for phosphorus, we see that there are two on the left and four on the right. To balance these, add a coefficient of two on the left.
2Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 + SiO 2 → P 4 O 10 + 3CaSiO 3
Notice that by doing so, we changed the number of calcium atoms on the left. Every time you add a coefficient, double check to see if the step affects any elements you have already balanced. In this case, the number of calcium atoms on the left has increased to six while it is still three on the right, so we can change the coefficient on the right to reflect this change.
2Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 + SiO 2 → P 4 O 10 + 6CaSiO 3
Since oxygen occurs in every molecule in the equation, we will skip it for now. Focusing on silicon, we see that there is one on the left, but six on the right, so we can add a coefficient to the left.
2Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 + 6SiO 2 → P 4 O 10 + 6CaSiO 3
Now, we will check the number of oxygen atoms on each side. The left has 28 atoms and the right also has 28. So, after checking that all the other atoms are the same on both sides as well, we get a final answer of
8. KClO 3 → KClO 4 + KCl
This problem is particularly tricky because every atom, except oxygen, occurs in every molecule in the equation. So, since oxygen appears the least number of times, we will start there. There are three on the left and four on the right. To balance these, we find the lowest common multiple; in this case, 12. By adding a coefficient of four on the left and three on the right, we can balance the oxygens.
4KClO 3 → 3KClO 4 + KCl
Now, we can check potassium and chlorine. There are four potassium molecules on the left and four on the right, so they are balanced. Chlorine is also balanced, with four on each side, so we are finished, with a final answer of
9. Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + Ca(OH) 2 → Al(OH) 3 + CaSO 4
We can start here by balancing the aluminum atoms on both sides. The left has two molecules while the right only has one, so we will add a coefficient of two on the right.
Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + Ca(OH) 2 → 2Al(OH) 3 + CaSO 4
Now, we can check sulfur. There are three on the left and only one on the right, so adding a coefficient of three will balance these.
Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + Ca(OH) 2 → 2Al(OH) 3 + 3CaSO 4
Moving right along to calcium, there is only one on the left but three on the right, so we should add a coefficient of three.
Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + 3Ca(OH) 2 → 2Al(OH) 3 + 3CaSO 4
Double-checking all the atoms, we see that all the elements are balanced, so our final equation is
10. H 2 SO 4 + HI → H 2 S + I 2 + H 2 O
Since hydrogen occurs more than once on the left, we will temporarily skip it and move to sulfur. There is one atom on the left and one on the right, so there is nothing to balance yet. Looking at oxygen, there are four on the left and one on the right, so we can add a coefficient of four to balance them.
H 2 SO 4 + HI → H 2 S + I 2 + 4H 2 O
There is only one iodine on the left and two on the right, so a simple coefficient change can balance those.
H 2 SO 4 + 2HI → H 2 S + I 2 + 4H 2 O
Now, we can look at the most challenging element: hydrogen. On the left, there are four and on the right, there are ten. So, we know we have to change the coefficient of either H 2 SO 4 or HI. We want to change something that will require the least amount of tweaking afterwards, so we will change the coefficient of HI. To get the left-hand side to have ten atoms of hydrogen, we need HI to have eight atoms of hydrogen, since H 2 SO 4 already has two. So, we will change the coefficient from 2 to 8.
H 2 SO 4 + 8HI → H 2 S + I 2 + 4H 2 O
However, this also changes the balance for iodine. There are now eight on the left, but only two on the right. To fix this, we will add a coefficient of 4 on the right. After checking that everything else balances out as well, we get a final answer of
H 2 SO 4 + 8HI → H 2 S + 4I 2 + 4H 2 O
As with most skills, practice makes perfect when balancing chemical equations. Keep working hard and try to do as many problems as you can to help you hone your balancing skills.

In this article, you will learn about how to balance chemical equations easily with simple steps. Feel free to load our free printouts with answers for your practices. Do you locate balancing and chemical equation a daunting task? Download our Balancing Chemical Equations Worksheets to hear more about the topic.
Parts of a Balanced Chemical Equation
Before you start compensation commercial equations, is is important that you become tight acquainted with the various part regarding one. Every balanced chemical math consists of two parts: the reactant side plus the product side. Equally of these sides are seperate by the means of an arrow.
On which left side the the arrow, you wants find the reactant side. This side represents the elements which are used for initiating the experiment. On to right side of an arrows, we have the product part. Is side is used toward display the elements or compounds which are generated from the chemical batch.
The Need for Balancing Chemical Equations
Ever since you started learning about the field of Chemistry, your teachers might often have stressed upon the relevance of balancing chemical equations. But have you ever pondered on who reason behind this? Why do them need to respect the law of which conservation of mass? Quite simply, it need to balance your equations to pursue the law of conservation from mass.
Law a Safeguarding of Mass: According until the law of conservation of mass, the mass of products that are derived from adenine chemical equation should mandatorily equal the heap of the additives.
Watched the law of maintenance of mass while wheel equations is quite important. Not only does to help you the preclude errors, but it also assists scientists included knowing the quantities of default to establish a particular product that they wish to make. Moreover, the law also helps chemical manufacturers toward increase the efficiencies of their method.
When Should You Start Into Balance ONE Chemical Equation?
As soon such you derive a color equation stating this molecular and the products, check out if the number of atoms on either website are equal to each other or not. In the event which you detect the numerical to be uncommon, rest assured, you should start balancing the elements and compounds on either side of the chemical quantity. Forward a chemical expression to balance, there required be the same number of each character of atom on both sides out the relation. Handwriting Chemical Equations.
How Should You Balance A Chem Equation?
The chief aspect that your need to retain in mind while balancing a chem equation is this; which entire process is completely based on trial real flaws. When you begin to balance a specify chemical equation, you will must to go because several processes before you stumble upon the right coefficients to balance the numerical away atoms.
Additional aspect this you require to remember will that balancing chemical gleichungen requires a property of practice. Ones you perfect the practice of weighing, you may aus completely reliant on your intuition to leader you through the fully process.
During balancing your equations, you needed to follow certain simple sources. Here’s what him need to do:
- Start by counting the number of atoms, offer for each element on the side of this enzymes as well when the my.
- When you find out that certainly pitch can not balanced, placed of required coefficients that are needed to balance the elements.
- Einmal yourself are done in this, check out if the number in atoms for one extra features is also equal on both to sides.
- Repeat the process until you find away such all the elements on both the sides of the chemical berechnungen have balanced.
As aforementioned, the process by itself is quite simple. However, it takes significant practice previously can start toward balance these equating completely with your intuition.
An Slight Example To Get You Started Equipped
Now that you how the steps, you are wholly capable of leveling chemical equations. Let’s release some of them, shall ourselves? With the help of above-mentioned steps or a practical example, thou will remain better able to understand how the full process works.
Do not believe anxious are you feel that you are still not ready to solve these problems. With our method, even your toddler sibling will is able to realize how acid equations become balanced. Real if still feel a bad bit confused after solving all these equations, try on solve a few more of such problems. Remember what we advised in one previous section: You will required considerable practice before you sack secure start to balance these equations includes owner intuition.
Let’s start with this example. Such equation represents adenine reaction between two Ferrous Oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ) also Carbon (C). Who products formed are Ferrous (Fe) and Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ).
Fe 2 O 3 + C → Fe + CO 2
Alright, so we have we equation. Let’s begin to equalize which equation with the help about and steps mentioned above.
