		A chemical equation is a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction.
		The first-ever chemical equation was diagrammed by Jean Beguin in 1615.

	chemical equation
		A chemical equation gives two basic pieces of information: (1) the reactants (on the left-hand side) and products (right-hand side); and (2) the reacting proportions (stoichiometry) –; that is, how many units of each reactant and product are involved.
		The equation must balance; that is, the total number of atoms of a particular element on the left-hand side must be the same as the number of atoms of that element on the right-hand side.

	Chemical Equation Balancing: Redox Method
		Traditionally, the "redox method" of chemical equation balancing is explained in terms of charge balancing based on the "oxidation states" of the atoms involved but the method can be applied to equations in which all the compounds are neutral.
		Balancing chemical equations is thought of in terms of the problem of finding intersections of vector subspaces and the "redox method" is explained in terms of variable reduction based on orthogonal compliments of the vector subspaces.
		Chemical compounds can also be represented by tuples and hence it is possible to think of chemical compounds as being orthogonal to each other.

	How can I balance an equation?
		Now, when we write chemical equations, we need to have the formulas for the reagents on the left side (the stuff that's going to do the chemical reaction) and the formulas for the products (the stuff you make) on the right.
		If we were to simply put the formulas of the chemicals on the left and right without saying how much of it was going to react, then we would run the risk of saying that the mass of what we end up with is different than the mass of what we started with.
		On the right side of the equation, there are two atoms of sodium, one atom of sulfur, five atoms of oxygen (four from the sodium sulfate and one from the water), and two atoms of hydrogen.
