◆ A complete chemical equation represents reactants, products and their physical states with the help of symbols.

◆ Reactants. In a chemical reaction, the substances which react are called reactants.

◆ Products. In a chemical reaction, new substances which are produced as a result of chemical reaction are called products.

◆ Chemical equation. A chemical equation represents symbolically, the reactants, products, their physical states and conditions under which a reaction occurs. It is balanced in terms of mass and charge.

◆ Balanced chemical equation. It is a chemical equation in which number of atoms of each element are equal on both sides of the equation.

◆ Law of conservation of mass. In a chemical reaction the total mass of the products must be equal to the total mass of the reactants.

◆ Skeletal or Skeleton chemical equation. It is an equation which simply represents the symbols and formulae of reactants and products. It may or may not be balanced.

◆ Balancing of chemical equations is based upon law of conservation of mass. ❖

LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS

Q. 1. How is a chemical equation balanced? Discuss with the help of an example.

Ans. Balancing of chemical equation is the process of making the number of different types of atoms equal on both the reactant and product sides. The balancing of a chemical equation is completed in the following steps:

Write the symbols and formulae of the various reactants and products without making them equal. This is called a skeleton equation.
Select the biggest formula which contains the largest number of atoms. Balance its atoms on the sides of the arrow.
Balance the remaining atoms on the both sides of the arrow.
Make the equation molecular. The gases like hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine etc. are first written in the atomic form and then they are written in molecular form.

Example. Let us consider a reaction in which sodium metal reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen :

Sodium+ Water → Sodium hydroxide + Hydrogen

The steps for balancing the above equation are as follows:

1. The skeleton equation for the chemical reaction is :

Na + H₂O → NaOH + H

2. The number of Na atoms on both sides of the arrow are equal. Similarly, the number of oxygen and hydrogen atoms on both sides of the equation are also equal.

3: This means that the equation is balanced but it is not molecular because hydrogen is in atomic form.

4. To make hydrogen molecular or to write it as H₂ multiply the entire equation by 2. The equation may be re-written as :

2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂

This is the balanced equation.

(a) Carbon element burns in oxygen to form carbon dioxide.

(b) Iron and sulphur elements when heated form iron sulphide.

2. Combination between an element and a compound. In these reactions, one of the combining substances is an element whereas the other is a compound. A few example of this type of combination reactions are :

(a) Carbon monoxide combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide

(b) Sulphur dioxide combines with oxygen upon heating to form sulphur trioxide.

3. Combination between two compounds. In these combination reactions, two compounds take part to form a new compound. For example,
