Week Eight - Chembalancer Review: Balancing Equations

I could not get the wfu.edu website to work, so I took a look at the richardbowles site instead. I already got the gist of how to balance equations, so I kind of breezed over some of the explanations, but I did learn two new little tidbits: 

1. to balance the larger molecules first, and the simpler elements last, and 

2. that it should be designated whether it is a solid, liquid, gaseous or aqueous, which is helpful to make these random configurations of letters jump off the page a and be a little more tangible and easier to grasp. It makes it less of a straight algebra problem, and more of a an actual chemistry experiment. Very good for beginners to stay engaged!
