In this video we will balance the equation Hg + O2 = HgO . Visit https://www.Breslyn.org for video guides on balancing equations and more!

To balance Hg + O2 = HgO you will need to be sure to count all of atoms on each side of the chemical equation.

Once you know how many of each type of atom you can only change the coefficients (the numbers in front of atoms or compounds) to balance the equation for Mercury + Oxygen gas .

Important tips for balancing chemical equations:

Only change the numbers in front of compounds (the coefficients).
Never change the numbers after atoms (the subscripts).
The number of each atom on both sides of the equation must be the same for the equation to be balanced.
