This is my chemistry worksheet. it's a new topic my teacher will barely review with us.

So to balance an equation, you need to get the same amount of each type of element on either side of the --> . So you pretty much are given the subscripts in the equations and you need to add coefficients (just normal numbers) in front of any formula that needs it, keeping anything balance.

turns into


These coefficient numbers are the molar ratios, so 2 moles of KCl3 for every 3 moles of O2   so 1. 3:2

Then you can use these ratios of find out how many moles of one thing are needed if you are given the amount of another.

and use cross multiplication to solve for whatever you don't know

It is a mixture. simply put, a compound must be pure, that is, of only one chemical structure and composition. a mixture is made of different chemical substances (i.e. elements, molecules, compounds) that are not chemically bonded to each other, but instead physically grouped together, as in the case of gasoline (a homogeneous solution).
