Balancing of Equations
There are two types of balancing of equations
- Trial and Error Method for Balancing – Used in classes until you learn electrochemistry
- Balancing using Redox reactions – Used after you learn electrochemistry or redox reactions
Trial and error method – With Videos Click on this link
- When learning balancing of equations using trial and error method first you should learn to count atoms
- Then you should attempt balancing the following videos and placed in sequence, should watch one after the other

- First you should learn how to determine oxidation numbers
- Then you should learn to ionize ionic compounds
- Now you should try “Ion – electron method” or “Half reaction Method”
- Followed by Oxidation Number Method.
