|
In order to understand chemical reactions..
|
one must first be able to describe them
|
|
When charcoal burns, the carbon in the charcoal reacts with ..

mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction
|
|
To balance a chemical equation, first..
|
count the atoms on each side of the equation

|
|
Once you know the molar mass of a substance you can convert...
|
moles of that substance into mass, or a mass of that substance into moles.
|
|
In chemcial reactions, the mass of a reactant or product can be calculatd by..
|
using a balanced chemical equation and molar masses of the reactants and products
