C12H22O11 + 12 O2 Â® 12 CO2 + 11 H2O This illustrates the methods used for writing balanced reaction equations: 1  Determine the reactants and products. In this case, the products are CO2 and H2O, determined by common sense. 2  Apply the fundamental principle of conservation of atoms.
Write the balanced equation that describes this reaction. 1  Write the unbalanced equation.SnO2 + H2 â Sn + H2O. 2  Balance the equation.Look at the equation and see which elements are not balanced. In this case, there are two oxygen atoms on the lefthand side of the equation and only one on the righthand side.
