* * CHEMICAL REACTIONS Chemical Equations Chemical Equations are used to represent chemical reactions. Reactants ? Products Law of Conservation of Matter means matter cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction. We must balance chemical reactions (add coefficients) to comply with the law. Chemical Equations (Cont) Example: CH4 + O2 ? CO2 + H2O Methane + Oxygen ? Carbon + Water Dioxide Reactants Products 1 – C 1 – C 4 – H 2 – H 2 – O 3 – O Balancing Chemical reactions change the groupings of the atoms, but DO NOT create or destroy atoms, so there must be the
