- Balancing Chemical Equations in Five Easy Steps. My new book on balancing equations is now available! books.breslyn....
Balancing chemical equations is a core skill in chemistry. In this video you'll learn the basics for balancing equation with examples and explanation.
Master Balancing with my Free Course: www.youtube.co...
There are three key things to remember when balancing reactions.
✅ First count the number of each type of atom on each side of the chemical equation. It helps to make a table below the equation to be sure you have the correct numbers.
✅ You can only change the coefficients (these are the numbers in front substances).
✅ You should NOT change the subscripts (the small numbers after elements). That would make a new chemical compound!
Once you're done balancing a chemical equation double check both sides to be sure you have the same number of each type of atom on each side of the balanced equation.

Converting between moles and grams is the cornerstone of being successful in stoichiometry, the study of chemical quantities. Take the time to learn mole conversions and you will find chemistry is much easier.
The use of conversion factors (also called factor-label method or dimensional analysis) is a more general technique for converting quantities. Once you understand how it works it can be applied to many different conversion (as long as you know the conversion factor).

@@nhanhi.locker427 Thanks!
Lol you still active on this video :)
@@aakashfr This is my most popular video even though I made it in 2015. Like consistently 3-5K views a day. So hopefully it will help promote the course I made on balancing. Problem is, my sense is that people know how to balance after the video and don't need the course!
Take a moment to appreciate the fact that this man just saved the lives of millions of Chemistry students across the world

*You just explained 3 weeks of work in 5 minutes something my teacher couldn't do. Thank You!*

3 weeks? We had 2 days to learn it and then have a test on it
A bit of exaggeration but i get what you are trying to say...
Because the teacher doesnt have a perfect class or explanation to make a video, neither are you probably focusing until the day before the exam

Love how my teacher explains this for an hour and I understood nothing, but you explained it in 5 minutes and I thought I was being blessed by a miracle

Thank you Mr. B! Nursing student here. My chem class is only 8 weeks long so things are moving very fast. This channel is literally what's helping me keep my head above the water. You are truly a blessing and I am very grateful!
These days, 2 things matter the most.
1) Good teaching
2) Good visuals
and this video covers both. Really helped me understand how to balance equations. Thanks!
+ Timeliness
Making the video short and concise absolutely helps us review faster for exams :))

just taught a friend of mine a few years younger than me how to balance equations. And thought it was only right I come back to the man who's pretty much taught me most of the maths i know relating to chemistry, in the most simple way. So I just want to say a huge thankyou to you sir, and wish nothing but happiness to you and your family
Lots of love from the UK

Hey Mr Wayne. I have a chemical exam coming up and it's really embarrassing I don't know this stuff yet but you really helped me thank you very much.

@@wbreslyn could you help me out with the whole oxidation and reduction thingy, it's very difficult for me!I'm not sure what to really do in it, (chemistry isn't my most liked subject)
@@algae2496 Redox is difficult for most everyone (including myself when I was a student). I've been meaning to create a series of videos on redox but haven't had the time. For now I'd recommend the Khan Academy series (www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/oxidation-reduction/redox-oxidation-reduction/v/introduction-to-oxidation-and-reduction) but realize this is challenging content to learn.

You are most welcome! 😎
You are literally the best chemistry tutor anyone could ask for.
Thanks soooo much❤❤❤❤❤

For some reason I was confusing the heck out of my students explaining this. I put on your video and they got it right away. Thanks for sharing your gift of teaching with the world.
Thank you. Chemistry really interest me back in school, but it been a long time ago. Almost 10 years now and I found myself forgetting most of the stuff. Your video help fill out the gap.
You are welcome! Always good to revisit these ideas - keeps the brain sharp!
So it has always been as simple as this, huh... 😄 It's been about ten years now since high school, and I thought I would never learn to balance a chemical equation. Thanks for the lesson, Dr.
Happy to help!
Thanks you’ve saved my life 😭😭😌 4:44

Oml but this saved my life
something my old grumpy teacher cant explain in an hour you explain in literally 5 minutes .I really went 'OHHHHH' when I watched this video
8 years ago and it still helps thousands of chem student every day
tysm man
🙏
Bro literally saved my life today!! He taught me in 5 mins....meanwhile my school teacher couldn't do it in whole 3 months
Even though my teacher teached me a hundred times,still I couldn't understand.
But after watching this video I understood everything..
Thanks so much 👍👍
Glad to hear that!
My mom's channel subscribe please 🙏🙏
Ur right
Thank You so much Sir , Finally i understood how to balance equations just in 5 steps , excellent video
This has literally saved my life, you have my gratitude
Nice teaching, than my chemistry teacher
same here lol 😅

Ok how did you do?
@@emmanuelgeorge bro it was 7 months ago how are they supposed to remember
@@GypsyRose473 I asked other people how they did on their ap tests from a year ago and they responded. I was just curious so I guess we'll just leave it at that

Awesome, happy to help!
Why did I think about Katsuki Bakugou when you said "explosion" and "nitroglycerin"?
I'm currently getting ready for a science exam, and this helped A LOT. My teacher hasn't been that great at explainging and this explained everything.

It’s my first year in uni and while taking chem class the doctor said that we should know how to balance them already while i was there not knowing how to since no teacher could teach me how but this random vid on UA-cam taught me all that in 5 min
Excellent! All the best in uni!

thank you I had a big test on this

my teacher full on just said “go back and forth between the equation” and everyone just magically understood what she meant??? what?????
but fr you saved me from a chemistry test that i have next week
let's all take a moment to appreciate how this guy saved so many chemistry students
I’m literally failing chemistry right now and you may have saved me within just this 5 minute video, thank you! 😅
Happy to help! and all the best in chemistry!
Thank you sir. U helped a lot with my chemistry, more than what my teacher taught me :)
it's mind blowing how you explain better than my teacher, including the other yt vid! this is much simplier and i finally understand how to do it instead of feeling that i'm incredibly dumb to the point i will never understand it!

Don't worry, once you get the idea it's fairly easy. Most of the time people have problems because they try to change the little numbers after the element symbols. You can only change the number in front (called the coefficients)!

Do you mean balanced equation? Start with 2Na + 2H2O and see where that gets you. Remember that you have to add up all the H atoms in the NaOH + H2. That is often where people have problems. --- Dr. B
I don’t know how schools can even make this immensely hard.
Sometimes schools try to mix theory with the process of balancing. It's a lot to learn at one time!
thank you so so much this has been the most helpful video on balancing equations ive ever seen!
The way you explain it made it simple for me to understand than reading on my textbook. Thanks.
