Balancing Reactions Worksheet

Atoms are not _______________ or _____________ during a chemical reaction. There must be
the ___________ number of atoms on each ___________ of the ____________. To balance the
chemical equation, you must add _______________ in front of the chemical formulas in the
equation. You cannot _______ or ___________ subscripts!
Balance each equation. Be sure to show your lists! Remember you cannot add subscripts
or place coefficients in the middle of a chemical formula.
