Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the process of balancing chemical equations using algebraic methods. Participants are attempting to clarify the question posed and provide feedback on the approach taken by the original poster.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests the original poster to provide the specific chemical equation for review.
  • Another participant emphasizes that balancing an equation requires having the same number of each atom on both sides, rather than merely rewriting it with variables.
  • A different participant suggests that the original poster's method of balancing using algebraic variables is valid, indicating that there are multiple approaches to this task.
  • Concerns are raised about the clarity of the original poster's work, particularly regarding the readability of the scanned document and the accuracy of atom counts in the final equation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the method of balancing chemical equations, with some supporting the algebraic approach while others advocate for a more traditional method. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the effectiveness of the original poster's method and the accuracy of their calculations.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the clarity of the original poster's submission, including potential errors in counting atoms and the overall readability of the provided material.

where are you ??
 
I don't think anyone can understand your question.

Balancing an equation doesn't mean re-writing it with a,b,c
It simply means you need to have the same number of each atom on the left and right.

Write the equation here and we will check it.

ps. People here are in all timezones, but most of the answers come from europe/USA so consider what tiem it is there
 
From what I can see (your writing is fairly small on the scan), all looks well. Could you consider writing it out, so that things like the search function may work more effectively here.

Actually, there's a mistake in it, just at the part where you eventually calculate "e". Everything else is correct, but incredibly difficult to read.

You should notice that you have an error when you count H atoms or O atoms in your final equation.
