Meaning
A Balanced Symbol Equation is a way to show the reactants and products in a chemical reaction using the chemical formulae of the reactants and products.
About Balanced Symbol Equations
- Balanced Symbol Equations shows the number of molecules of each chemical and the numbers of each atom within those chemicals.
- Balanced Symbol Equations can be used to find the quantity of each chemical needed to have a complete chemical reaction.
 |
| This shows there are 2 H2 molecules and 1 O2 molecule needed to make 2 molecules of H2O. |
 |
| This shows there is 1CH4 molecule and 2 O2 molecules needed to make 1 molecule of CO2 and 2 molecules of H2O. |
