If more than one choice is available, balance metals before nonmetals Balance a free element last, adjust the coefficient on the fee element Remove fractions by multiplying through by the denominator Check The number of a particular type of atom within a chemical formula embedded in an equation is obtained by multiplying the subscript for the atom by the coefficient for the chemical formula. If there is no coefficient or subscript, a 1 is implied. An example of the balanced equation for the combustion of natural gas follows:

If charged ions are dissolved in water it will conduct electricity. Strong Electrolytes will dissociate into its ions in an aqueous solution and are written as separated ions in the total and net ionic reactions. Examples: Strong acids, Strong Bases, Soluble salts. Strong Acids: HCl, HBr, HI, HNO 3, H 2 SO 4, HClO 4, HClO 3 Strong Bases: soluble hydroxides from Group IA (not including H) and Group IIA, not including the top two: LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, Ca(OH) 2, Sr(OH) 2, Ba(OH) 2 Soluble Salts: Ionic compounds that contain cations from Group 1A; Li +, Na +, K +, or NH 4 + or the anions NO 3-1, ClO 4-1, C 2 H 3 O 2-1 are mostly soluble. Compounds with Cl -1, Br -1, I -1 are soluble except with Ag +, Hg 2 +2, Pb +2 Compounds with SO 4-2 are soluble except Sr +2, Ba +2, Pb +2 or Ca +2. Weak Electrolytes will partially dissociate into its ions in an aqueous solution, but are written together in an ionic equation. Weak electrolytes are the weak acids and weak bases such as HC 2 H 3 O 2 or NH 3

Always write the cation before the anion and verify that the net charge of each compound is zero. Ionic compounds may be acid, base, or salt. Oxidation charges do not alter in double displacement reactions so this type will never be a redox reaction.

If on one side of the reaction an atom or molecule has a zero charged element and on the other side of the reaction the same atom is now part of a compound or an ion, then electrons have been moved.
