Balance the equations
EX Not balanced Balanced
Na + Cl2 à NaCl 2Na + _Cl2 à 2NaCl
Reactants (list atoms separately) Products (list atoms separately)
Na (1) x 2 = 2 Na (1) x 2 = 2
Cl (2) do nothing Cl (1) x 2 = 2
1 _1_ Na + _1_ H2O à _1_ NaOH + _2_ H2
Reactants Products
Na 1x1 = 1
Na = 1 x 1 = 1
H (in NaOH) = 1
H =1x2=2
H (in H2) =2
Total (Add) = 3
O=1x1=1
O = 1 x1 = 1
2 _2_ Mg + _1_ O2 à _2_ MgO
Reactants Products
Mg = 2 x 1 = 2 Mg =2 X 1 = 2
O = 1 X 2 =2 O =2X1=2
