Understanding Chemical Equations
The Matmata method of equalization in chemical equations involves ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.
Methods for Balancing Chemical Equations
The method involves testing coefficients for the elements involved. This begins by adjusting coefficients for elements involved in the compounds.
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Decomposition or Chemical Analysis: AB → A + B
- Synthesis: A + B → AB
- Displacement or Replacement: AB
Mechanism Balancing: Total and Partial Methods Explained
Mechanism Balancing: Total and Partial Methods
Mechanism balancing aims to eliminate or mitigate the effects of inertia forces. Achieving a complete balance isn’t always feasible or desirable due to economic factors. Therefore, we can distinguish between two approaches:
- Total Balance: Completely cancels forces and moments of inertia acting on the frame.
- Partial Balance: Reduces, but doesn’t eliminate, the effects of inertia on the frame.
Total Balance Methods
There are three methods to achieve total

Bacterial Genetics
Explain Competency
- The physical state of a bacterial cell which allows nucleotide bases in primers to anneal to the complementary base present in a DNA template.
Describe the Transformation Experiment
- The uptake of free-floating DNA from the environment by bacterial cells.
Characteristics of a Plasmid: pGLO Example
- Plasmids carry full-length genes and, therefore, can introduce new genotypes into bacterial cells, which can cause new phenotypes.
Function of Buffers in Plasmid DNA Isolation
