Unit 2 C.1 Supplement: Keeping Track of Atoms

1. A chemical equation is balanced if there are ___________________________ of each kind
of___________________________on both sides of the equation.

2. Accounting for atoms: determine the number of atoms of each kind in each of the following:

a. CaCO3 = ______ Ca, ______ C, ______ O

b. (NH4)2SO4 = ______ N, ______ H, ______ S, ______ O
c. 3 H2 = ______ H
d. 4 Mg(OH)2 = ______ Mg, ______ O, ______ H
e. Ba(NO3)2 = ______ Ba, ______ N, ______ O

3. For each equation, list the number of each type of atom shown on the reactant side and the product
side of the arrow. Also indicate whether the overall equation is balanced.

a. 2 Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2
