Balanced Equations

Balanced equations can be written for the formation (synthesis) or decomposition of compounds. These balanced equations can then be used to determine the weight relationships among the chemicals in the reactions. Writing the balanced equations is the focus of the pages listed here. Working with the weight relationships is the subject of the next section.
