what is the best way to remember chemical equations?

the best way to remember chemical equations is to take notes or just wright it on your hand.

Try Chemistry.com.  It may not directly help you with 'chemistry', but the site is supposed to be geared toward helping you find 'the one' with advanced techniques based on the things that users would define as 'chemistry'.\n\n(Sorry for all the quotes.)

Simply put, just memorize more and more often. Look at something every day for 30 mins and chances are, you will remember it.\n\nYou can also use visual cues to memorize something. For example, if you have to go golfing, out to dinner, and buy a hat, you might think about a guy wearing a hat, swinging a golf club, with a piece of food in his mouth, then you'll remember all three.\n\nAlso, understanding is an important part. If you understand what a definition means, then you'll remember it better. Write down that definition and say it aloud just as often as you read it, and you'll remember 3x better than if you had just scanned it over.\n\nAs for diet, it doesn't really matter. Try to eat something healthy, that will get the body fuels pumping. Plenty of sleep, and you'll remember.

Here is a great site, made specially for teachers, that has many tutorials, plus links to others\n\nGood luck\nhttp://sciencepage.org/chem.htm

well actually me and you are in the same situation. im trying to find out how to write wrod equations into a reaction. lol but neway i just learned how to balance equations its very simple.\nFe2O3+CO--Fe+CO2\n:draw a box around each set of elements:Fe2O3 would b in a box CO would be in a box and so forth.\n:then write out a diagram of how many atoms each element has:\nEx: Element/ Before/After\n      Fe          2         1\n      O            4         1\n      C            1          1\n:Then Write numbers in front of each of the boxes until the inventory for each element is the same both before and after the reaction. Now, what happens when we put a number in front of a formula? Basically, anything in that box is multiplied by that number, because we're saying that we have that many of that kind of molecule. \n:Now do this until the diagram is equal on both sides\nAND YOU HAVE YOUR BALANCED EQUATION

bdenton2k is right. Also to use mnemonics.\n\nHere are some links that you may want to refer to:\n\n1) http://www.memletics.com/manual/mnemonics.asp\n2) http://www.fun-with-words.com/mnemonics.html\n3) http://www.coun.uvic.ca/learn/program/hndouts/mnemon.html

General answer -- the way that works best for you to remember the key parts.\n\nReally, the "best way" is different based upon individual learning styles and previous knowledge.\n\nSome common techniques -- read it thoroughly. Summary the main points in your own words, in addition to any quotes you think are important. Really seek to understand the content.\n\nWriting it down longhand (as opposed to typing it) helps if you learn kinesthetically. \n\nReading it outloud to yourself, or reading the summaries, helps if you are an auditory learning.\n\nThe bottom line is that you need to keep your notes short enough that you can retain them in memory, without missing essential concepts.

Use the periodic table of the elements.  The "weights" are in grams per mol.  Just use algebra and solve for the number of mols.  Then you know how many atoms there are by the number of mols which is a definite number.

Instead of memorizing all the equations,understand how they are derived.Try to do it yourself.If you can't go to someone who knows for help.

Yep, all you have to do is to make sure that the atoms shown in the left hand part of the equation appear on the left hand side.  Nothing is created or lost, you just make new compounds.  Dead easy, if only languages were so easy!!!

I not sure what style you learned to use to balance chemical equation but here is one way to do it. \nWe have four elements to balance (Al,H,Cl,O)\nLeave the compounds with aluminum with one of each. (Al done)\nThe simplest compound Al is AlCl3. To match the Cl on both sides put a 3 in front on HCl (Cl done)\nIf you add up the H (hydrogen) on the left side of the equation you'll see 6 of them. Add a 3 in front of the H20 to balance that. (H done)\nDo a quick check and you'll see there are 3 oxygen on each side (0 oxygen)\nAll the elements have been balanced, yielding a final equation of:\n3HCl + Al(OH)3 ---> 3H20 + AlCl3

do you want to know how to balance chemical equations? It's actually quite simple when you know how\n\nrather than asking for direct answers, it's better if you know how to do it for yourself\n\nI'm not going to answer your questions but show you how to do it for future reference\n\nH2 + O2-->H2O\n\nthe above equation is not balanced because there is only one oxygen atom on the right and two on the left\n\nnow, how do we balance this?\n\nfirst thing we need to do is ensure that there are equal amounts of atoms on the left and on the right\n\nso, to balance that equation\n\nwe will write\n\n2H2+O2-->2H2O\n\nthe equation is now balanced with respect to equal atoms on the left and right\n\nin words\n\n2  molecules of hydrogen  react with 2 oxygen atoms to produce 2 molecules of water\n\nthere are now 4 hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on each side of the equation\n\nthe 2 in front of each compound represents the molecules and the subscripts represent the number of atoms

1.  memorize the formulas\n\n- standard form\n- point-slope form\n- slope intercept form\n\nThese are 3 ways to manipulate the same equation.\n\nMemorization is the easiest way.  If you have algebra basics down you can manipulate the equations from one form to the next.   You won't need an explanation.

What I always did (and I admit it has been awhile) is to repeatedly write down key concepts, in particular the equations. At least for me the act of acting scribbling it out over and over on a piece of scrap paper helped memorization - at least in the short term.\n\nThe best way to remember a science concept, though, is to actually understand. Not always easy if the Quantum Field Theory exam is in 11 hours...\n\nOh, one thing to _avoid_ (in my opinon) is to simply go through the book and notes when you're tired. Your mind will drift, you'll be distracted, and the whole thing can be a waste of time.\n\nThat's why I always used the write-it-down method, it keeps the mind focused.

get a good book\nlike the McGraw and Hill\nthats what we have in our Lab Chemistry class\nor go to the bonny eagle high school page and get the email for Helen Steele\nshe is a geneous i bet she could help you
