balanced equation
(noun)
When the quantity of each individual element is equal on both sides of the equation.
Examples of balanced equation in the following topics:
-
Balancing Redox Equations
- Notice that this equation is balanced in both mass and charge: we have one atom of iron on each side of the equation (mass is balanced), and the net charge on each side of the equation is equal to zero (charge is balanced).
- Add the two equations to cancel out the electrons to balance the equation.
- We need to balance this equation by mass.
- The equation is now balanced in mass, but not charge.
- The equation is now balanced for mass, and we need only balance for charge.
-
Balancing Redox Equations
- The equation should be balanced.
- The equation should be balanced.
- The equation should be balanced.
- It consists of four steps that, if followed, can balance any redox equation.
- Produce a balanced redox equation from an unbalanced one in either acidic or basic media
-
Balancing Nuclear Equations
- To balance a nuclear equation, the mass number and atomic numbers of all particles on either side of the arrow must be equal.
- Nuclear reactions may be shown in a form similar to chemical equations, for which invariant mass, which is the mass not considering the mass defect, must balance for each side of the equation.
- To balance the equation above for mass, charge, and mass number, the second nucleus on the right side must have atomic number 2 and mass number 4; it is therefore also helium-4.
- The complete equation therefore reads:
- In balancing a nuclear equation, it is important to remember that the sum of all the mass numbers and atomic numbers, given on the upper left and lower left side of the element symbol, respectively, must be equal for both sides of the equation.
-
The Accounting Equation
- The fundamental accounting equation, which is also known as the balance sheet equation, looks like this: $\text{assets} = \text{liabilities} + \text{owner's equity}$.
- The fundamental accounting equation is kept in balance after every business transaction because everything falls under these three elements in a business transaction.
- Looking at the fundamental accounting equation, one can see how the equation stays is balance.
- Additionally, changes is the accounting equation may occur on the same side of the equation.
- For example, if the company uses cash to purchase inventory, cash is decreased (credited) and inventory is increased (debited); thus, assets as a whole remain unchanged and the equation remains in balance.
-
Balancing Chemical Equations
- A properly balanced chemical equation shows this.
- Therefore, to balance this reaction, a coefficient will have to be added to the NaCl on the product's side.
- Never attempt to balance a reaction by changing the subscripts on a molecule.
- To balance this reaction, add a 2 in front of the NaCl.
- Therefore, the reaction is balanced.
-
Thermochemical Equations
- Thermochemical equations are chemical equations which include the enthalpy change of the reaction, $\Delta H_{rxn}$ .
- A thermochemical equation is a balanced stoichiometric chemical equation which includes the enthalpy change.
- The equation takes the form:
- The equation takes the form:
- Therefore, all thermochemical equations must be stoichiometrically balanced.
-
Components of the Balance Sheet
- The balance sheet relationship is expressed as; Assets = Liabilities + Equity.
- The balance sheet contains statements of assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity.
- The relationship of these items is expressed in the fundamental balance sheet equation:
- The meaning of this equation is important.
- Differentiate between the three balance sheet accounts of asset, liability and shareholder's equity
-
What Goes on the Balances Sheet and What Goes in the Notes
- The balance sheet lists current liability accounts and their balances; the notes provide explanations for the balances, which are sometimes required.
- Balance sheets are presented with assets in one section, and liabilities and equity in the other section, so that the two sections "balance. " The fundamental accounting equation is: assets = liabilities + equity ([).
- All liabilities are typically placed on the same side of the report page as the owner's equity because both those accounts have credit balances (asset accounts, on the other hand, have debit balances).
- Current liabilities and their account balances as of the date on the balance sheet are presented first, in order by due date.
- Explain why a company would use a note to the balance sheet
-
Defining the Balance Sheet
- The balance sheet is a summary of the financial balances of a company.
- Another way to look at the same equation is that assets equals liabilities plus owner's equity.
- Looking at the equation in this way shows how assets were financed: either by borrowing money (liability) or by using the owner's money (owner's equity).
- Balance sheets are usually presented with assets in one section and liabilities and net worth in the other section with the two sections "balancing. "
- This balance sheet shows the company's assets, liabilities, and shareholder equity.
-
Introduction to the Balance Sheet
- The balance sheet is a summary of the financial balances of a company and reflects the company's solvency and financial position.
- According to the accounting equation, equity must equal assets minus liabilities.
- Both internal and external users use the balance sheet.
- The balance sheet also demonstrates how liquid the business is.
- Name the two types of balance sheets and identify which accounts are listed on the balance sheet
