Description
Chemical equations are the foundation of chemistry. Whether you're a high school student, college student, or professional chemist, being able to balance chemical equations quickly and effectively is essential to being successful in chemistry. In this course you will learn the fundamental principles and techniques for balancing chemical equations in a way that is both fast and effective.
Through a combination of video lectures and practice problems you will gain a deep understanding of the key concepts involved in balancing chemical equations. You will learn how to identify the reactants and products in a chemical reaction, how to determine the coefficients for the balanced equation, and how to apply these principles to a wide variety of chemical reactions.
But this course isn't just about balancing equations – it's also about doing well on homework, quizzes, and exams. Throughout the course, you will receive valuable tips and strategies for approaching chemistry problems, managing your time effectively, and staying focused and motivated.
Whether you're struggling with chemical equations or simply looking to improve your skills, this course is the perfect choice for you. By the end of the course, you will have the tools and knowledge you need to excel in chemistry and achieve your academic goals.

Reviews
I am looking for some assistance to help with balancing chemical equations to assist with a City and Guilds qualification I am studying. As an adult learner, having somebody talk through things instead of just reading, is helpful, so this course is a good match for what I am looking for. Increased my rating from x4 Stars to 5 stars. My math skills are not the strongest so it took me longer than most to work through this course, but I managed to gain a full understanding of how to balance all of the equations covered.
