    Balancing Chemical Equations Student Directions

    Uploaded by

    kriss Wong
    This document provides student directions for a balancing chemical equations activity with the following learning goals: 1) understanding reactants and products, coefficients and subscripts; 2) using pictures and calculations to show atom relationships; 3) balancing chemical equations using identified relationships; 4) writing equations from molecular drawings and vice versa. Students are directed to use an online simulation to learn, research outside references as needed, use the simulation to check learning, write and explain a balanced chemical equation, and draw and explain molecular representations of a balanced reaction.

    Student directions Balancing Chemical Equations activity

    Learning Goals: Students will be able to

    Describe what reactants and products in a chemical equation mean.


    Explain the importance of knowing the difference between coefficients and
    subscripts.
    Use pictures and calculations to show how the number of atoms for each product or
    reactant is found.
    Identify the relationship between reactants and products atoms.
    Balance a chemical equation using the relationships identified.
    Given a chemical equation, draw molecular representations of the reaction and explain
    how the representations were derived.
    Given a molecular drawing of a chemical reaction, write the equation and explain how
    the symbols were derived.

    Directions:

    1. How does the sim provide information to help you learn the goals?

    2. What things did you have to research outside the sim (cite references)?

    3. How can you use the sim to check your learning?

    4. Use this balanced reaction to show that you can write the equation that makes chemical
    sense. Explain how the symbols were derived in paragraph form.

    5. Use this reaction to show that you can draw molecular representations of a balanced reaction.
    Explain how the representations were derived in paragraph form.
    CO2 + H2O C2H6 + O2
