Question
100%
Use CER, Claim should be your answer to the question. Evidence would be the number of each type of atom you saw in the unbalanced equation. The rest will be your explanation/elaboration. Why is the chemical equation not balanced? Why doesn't it follow the law of conservation of mass? Be specific, cite the number of each type of atom you observe in the unbalanced equation on the reactant and product side.

Balancing Chemical Equations
We apply the Law of Conservation of Mass by using reaction coefficients.
IF the # of atoms reactants = # of atoms products,
THEN the mass reactants = mass,
products
UNBALANCED:
1 N₂ + 1 H₂
2 N=214.01 = 28.02
2 H=11.01 = 2.02
total mass = 30.04
1 NH3
1 N = 1 14.01 = 14.01
3 H=31.01 = 3.03 +
total mass 17.04
BALANCED:
1 N₂ + 3H₂
2 N 2 14.01 - 28.02
*6 H-61.01 - 6.06
total mass = 34.08
2 NH3
2 N 2 14.01 - 28.02
6H-6-1.01 - 6.06 +
total mass = 34.08
