Grade 10 CBC/CBE Chemistry: Balance Any Chemical Equation in 4 Steps

In this Grade 10 CBC Chemistry lesson you will learn to write equations that keep every atom, using one rule and a four-step routine: count, add coefficients, recount and check. You will balance equations with the lowest common multiple, leave the busiest atom until last, turn word equations into balanced equations and add state symbols.
