i would like to know if there any Method/way to Balance chemical equations?
for example if i got this equation: P2S5+PCl5--->PSCl3

i know how to Balance but is take me a lot time to find the correct factor for Each Molecule.

hope you Understand what i mean.:smile:


thanks.

Several methods, but as long as you don't get efficient all will look difficult and time consuming. But usually after several hundreds of balanced equations you do it on the fly, almost without any effort.

See balancing chemical equations for methods and http://www.chemistry-quizzes.info/quizz.php?m=r&fi=equation-balancing-easy/0000.php for training.
 
great.

thank you.
