Word equations

1. Chemical equations use the chemical formulae of the reactants and products to describe a reaction

2. The total mass of the product(s) of a chemical reaction must equal the total mass of the reactant(s)

3. Therefore chemical equations must be balanced

4. The total number of atoms of one element should be the same on both sides of the equation
