💁‍♀️ HI I'M MELISSA MARIBEL
I help students pass Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. I used to struggle with this subject, so when I finally graduated with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry, I became a tutor so that you wouldn't have to struggle like I did. I know that with the right help, YOU CAN LEARN ANYTHING!

    QUESTION! after you rewrite the entire chem. equation--- do you balance them again? or leave the new chemical equation written out as the completed answer... I'm assuming you have to keep going until you balance them.
