Introduction to Balancing Chemical Equations
How to balance chemical equations. We'll start out with examples that show the concepts behind balancing chemical equations. We will start with a word equation, and then write a chemical equations, and then visualize the atoms and molecules and how they change. To figure out if the equations is balanced, we look at the number and type of atoms on each side of the arrow. If the number and type of atom is not the same on both sides, the equation in unbalanced. We need to change the number of one or more of the compounds in order to get the atoms to balance. We do this by placing coefficients (numbers) in front of each of the compounds. When balancing equations, you cannot ever change the subscripts of a compound.

I love science too it's one of the most interesting things to me because it is how the universe, big or small works. I love physics and other hardcore sciences and always love studying it even when my friends in class are complaining about how it doesn't make sense. Last semester when we did a physical analysis project on anything you wanted I got 108% on that thing when the next highest was a 95%. My teacher said it was so good it didn't deserve a 100% xdd
If you were my chemistry teacher, chemistry wouldn't bore me and I would actually understand and maybe even enjoy it

I'm a public high school chemistry teacher and if your teacher isn't showing this to you...wow!!! This and Kahn Academy are nothing special--it's classic teaching (called direct instruction). This happens everyday in my classroom and it should in yours. The only exceptions are I'm ad free and HCl can be a neat demonstration. When concentrated, HCl will eat concrete and make pennies float! Chemistry is cool and it should be shown that way.
Why can’t KZread just like open up a college or high school hiring all of these teachers on KZread to be the ones at those schools. Imagine how amazing that would be.

Hey Tyler, I live in Australia and I am currently studying health science and nursing at university. Without a doubt my lecturer plays at least one of your videos every time we are learning something new because even though she is a great teacher you make it so easy to understand and I know my lecture group of 100+ people all really appreciate what you do! So I just wanted to let you know (which I'm sure you already do know) that you are truly such an amazing person for helping so many people the way you do. I can guarantee I wouldn't have understood scientific notation or how to balance equations if it weren't for you, so thank you times a billion! Please don't stop the amazing work your doing, it really means so much to so many people. Thank you :)

Why would someone dislike such a helpful, passionate and educational video?
Omg! If only I had this man for my chemistry teacher... I literally have a test tomorrow and I was contemplating on whether or not to study but by watching this video, I know that I will pass my test. Thank you so much for dedicating your time to upload this video to help thousands of people (INCLUDING ME) that suck in chemistry.
He's so delighted with chemistry! He smiles at the little things, which makes me laugh and smile with him :)
My chemistry instructor recommended your channel and it has been a lifesaver! Thank you for breaking down the concepts and helping me feel less intimidated by the problems on paper.
So thankful that this man is passionate about chemistry enough to put together these elaborate step by step lessons with perfect visuals. He speaks slowly and clearly, doesn't miss any aspect. Very very thankful for this dude and i hope he sees this.
dude whenever i hear your voice in playing through my headphones it's like an angel is speaking to me. Pretty much you are my saviour cause my science teacher is garbage.

I am a pre-nursing college student taking chemistry for my degree and have never taken it before. I have watched so many videos, and been to tutoring, which didn't work out, but I can say that you have finally helped me understand it. Thank you so much, I thought we could just balance the subscripts and add numbers until you explained that it's illegal lol. THANK YOU
i really like this guy bc when i don’t understand something i need it explained to me like im a toddler and that’s exactly what he does
I like it how you explain .Its like you are desperate to make us understand your teachings.Your the best 👍👍
I'm a 40 year old veteran and the fear of Chemistry is powerful. I wish we had youtube in the 90s when I was in school. I have learned so much in 12 minutes. Thank Mr.Dewitt
These videos have saved my life in chemistry. Whenever I don't understand something in my book I'll look up one of your videos and it helps immensely. Thank you.
UGH FINALLY SOMEONE WHO EXPLAINS CHEMISTRY GOOD THANK YOU!!!
You have no idea of how much you have made my highschool chemistry class easier! Thanks from the bottom o my hart ♥-
I'm in tears man, I've been trying to understand this for the longest but my teacher just isn't hitting it for me, i finally understand...thank you!
Does anyone else appreciate how he speaks nice and slow so that you can slowly start to understand what he is trying to teach. I love it. Thank you so very much. This helped me a lot. Also, for people that are trying to get harder balanced equations, his next video ("Balancing chemical equations Practice Problems) helps a lot. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
As a 40 year old who never ever took Chemistry, Tyler's videos are the only thing getting me through my college chemistry class! My $250 book is worthless. Tyler's videos are priceless. I prefer this visual style better than Khan Academy's visuals, which I still use, but these are better.

i don't even know if you still check the comments section of your old videos but i just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! i binge watched your stuff over my summer vacation to review for college entrance tests since i never liked nor got chemistry. needless to say, i breezed thru the science portion of the exam and passed both of my dream universities :^) YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER. THANK YOU AGAIN
Everyone here in the comments is so nice to this guy. That's refreshing. The world needs more good teachers like this!
I love watching his face while he's teaching! He obviously loves what he does :)
Can you make a video on "how to draw lewis dot structures" or "how to draw electron dot diagrams?"
I just wanted to thank you because if it wasn't because of your videos and the way you explain this chemistry I don't know what I would've done. I am really grateful I found your videos. You just explain it so clearly and well. Thank you!
I've got an Oxford University Press, maths skills for a level chemistry but can't download answers to check my work. This great man has shown me in minutes how to balance the equations and the bracketed ones...brilliant teaching!!!!

Tyler, I just finished telling my friends about your geniusness. my friend was going on about her favorite youtube guy (joanne the scammer). I argued you were way cooler/helpful, but she thought I was nuts. It moved me to return to your page to thank you. You are the sole reason I got an A in chemistry. Now I'm in nursing school and always wish there was a tyler dewitt for my nursing courses. I hope you're well!
I have exam tomorrow After attending sirs class I could balance the equations within minutes
my teacher: teaches us how to do this for a week me: i still dont get it Tyler: makes a 12 minute video teaching on how to do this me: ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! now i get it!
ive been doing these examples, even making some of my own! our teacher says things too complicated and thats why every student is very scared from even going to the chalkboard doing complicated equations... this has really made it simple. Thank you.
My teacher took like 50 mins to explain balance equations and it got me so lost. Yet, you only took a few minutes to explain these concepts and everything you explain makes sense. Thank you for being good at explaining things!
