Slide 1

Balancing Everyday Equations 7.3
By: Erika, Jamie, & Amelia

Vocabulary
• Qualitative – nonnumeric measurement that still
shows both the parts and the whole
• Quantitative – a measurement that indicates the
number of each part to make a whole
• Reactant – the kinds of parts
• Product – what the parts in the equation make up
• Coefficient – a small whole number that appears
in front of a formula in a balanced chemical
equation

Understanding Everyday Equations
• Everyday equations can be used to help
explain how to balance chemical equations.
• You come in contact with these equations
constantly without even knowing it.
• Everyday equations are just components put
together to make a whole.

Qualitative
• Qualitative equations are the parts placed
together WITHOUT specific numbers.
• Qualitative example of a bicycle:
Frame + Wheel + handlebar + pedal → Bicycle
• Qualitative equations are the simpler version of
quantitative equations. Qualitative only include the
parts that make up the whole.

Quantitative
• Quantitative equations are the parts placed
together WITH specific numbers.
• Quantitative example of a bicycle:
F + W + H + P → FW2HP2

• The product of this equation includes specific
numbers, giving it a quantity. However this
equation is unbalanced.

Balanced Everyday Equations
• In the previous slide the quantitative equation
was unbalanced because the product had
more materials than the reactants we pieced
together. F + W + H + P → FW2HP2
• To make a balanced equation you need to
have a full description of both the kind and
the number of parts.
• A balanced everyday equation example:
F + 2W + H + 2P (could be seen as P2) → FW2HP2

Is This Balanced?
1) (Hockey Team)
D + O + G → D2O3G
a. Yes
b. No
2) (Clothing)
T + P + 2S → TPS2
a. Yes
b. No

You are out to eat and you order a cheese burger. Little do you know
that cheese burger can be made into an everyday equation. On the
burger you have:
 1 piece of meat
 1 piece of cheese
 2 pieces of lettuce
 5 pickles
 2 tomatoes
Make this into a balanced everyday equation.
Meat + cheese + lettuce + pickles + tomatoes → cheeseburger
M + C + 2L + 5P + 2T → MCL2P5T2

Homework Question
You and your friends are going to a concert. You are
going to see your favorite band. When you arrive
you notice the type of instruments on stage. You
see:
• 1 guitar
• 1 bass
• 4 drums
• 2 saxophones
• 3 keyboards
How would you write a balanced equation for this?
