Investigating Chemical Reactions

We will look at some chemical reactions at the microscopic level to understand some new characteristics of chemical reactions.When we look at a chemical equation we check to be sure that it is balanced. We can answer questions using the balanced chemical equation stoichiometry, H, etc
