How to balance chemical equations by Algebraic and inspection method.
In everything in life needs to be balance. Even in mathematics, that's why there is a slogan in maths what you do to the left hand side you do to the right hand side.
Now John Dalton Law of Conservation of Matter states matter(atom) can neither be created nor destroyed.
So we follow that rule in chemical equations, because if either side is greater than the other it means atom has being created or destroyed.
Things to Observe when balancing Chemical Equations.
1. You represent all elements and compounds with their formulas.
2. You don't tamper or alter the formulas given to you (i.e you don't change O2 to O3) the only thing you are permitted to do is to add moles to the elements or compounds until the equation is balanced.

Now let us solve some examples, before then i forgot to say there are two ways in balancing Chemical Equations namely:
1. By Inspection method
2. By algebraic method

Balancing of Chemical Equations by Inspection.
1. Balance H2+O2 --> H2O
Now if you look carefully at the LHS hydrogen has a total of 2 and at the RHS hydrogen has a total of 2.
Oxygen at the LHS it has a total of 2 and at the RHS it has a total of 1.
Remember we can't add a subscript to chemical equations, so you can't say let me write (H2O2), so what will multiply the one(1) that oxygen has to give 2.
2×1=2, so add two to H2O. So now we have
H2+O2 --> 2H2O...continue reading www.scienceteachinglair..com,
