Stochiometry - Balancing Chemical Equations to Eliminate Fractions

Problem solving steps in solving chemical equations by using the example of elements such as Lead (II) Sulfide Ore (PbS), Oxygen (O) and Sulfur Dioxide gas (SO2). 

The video discusses: 

1. Writing the balanced chemical equation for the reaction.
2. Determining how much of a reactant [ PbS(s) and O2(g) ] is required to cause a reaction and produce products: PbO(s) (lead II oxide) and SO2 (sulfur dioxide).
3. The effect of using a "limiting reactant".
4. Checking to balance the chemical equation that include fractions (balancing chemical equations with fractions).
