Happy Birthday Dirge • Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, • When you’ve reached this age you know, • that the mind is first to go. • Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday!
Steps to TAMOBE • Use this method for very difficult equations to balance. • Place a different letter coefficient in front of each formula on both sides of the equation. Use letters that are not commonly used in Chemistry.
Example A • HCl + KMnO4 H2O + KCl + MnCl2 + Cl2 • X HCl + Y KMnO4 Z H2O + W KCl + Q MnCl2 + R Cl2 • Complexity H, K, Mn, O, Cl
X HCl + Y KMnO4 Z H2O + W KCl + Q MnCl2 + R Cl2Eliminate H: • X = 2Z • 2Z HCl + Y KMnO4 • Z H2O + W KCl + Q MnCl2 + R Cl2 • Eliminate K: • Y = W • 2Z HCl + W KMnO4 • Z H2O + W KCl + Q MnCl2 + R Cl2
2Z HCl + W KMnO4 • Z H2O + W KCl + Q MnCl2 + R Cl2 • Eliminate Mn: • W = Q • 2Z HCl + Q KMnO4 • Z H2O + Q KCl + Q MnCl2 + R Cl2
2Z HCl + Q KMnO4 • Z H2O + Q KCl + Q MnCl2 + R Cl2 Eliminate O: 4Q = Z • 8Q HCl + Q KMnO4 • 4Q H2O + Q KCl + Q MnCl2 + R Cl2
8Q HCl + Q KMnO4 • 4Q H2O + Q KCl + Q MnCl2 + R Cl2Eliminate Cl: • 8Q = Q + 2Q + 2R • 5Q = 2R • 5/2Q = R • 8Q HCl + Q KMnO4 • 4Q H2O + Q KCl + Q MnCl2 + 5/2Q Cl2
8Q HCl + Q KMnO4 • 4Q H2O + Q KCl + Q MnCl2 + 5/2Q Cl2 Double Everything • 16Q HCl + 2Q KMnO4 • 8Q H2O + 2Q KCl + 2Q MnCl2 + 5Q Cl2 Divide Everything by Q • 16 HCl + 2 KMnO4 • 8 H2O + 2 KCl + 2 MnCl2 + 5 Cl2
Example of TAMOBE B • C3H7S + O2 • CO2 + H2O + SO2 • X C3H7S + Y O2 • Z CO2 + Q H2O + R SO2
Example of TAMOBE B • X C3H7S + Y O2 • Z CO2 + Q H2O + R SO2 • Complexity S, C, H, O
X C3H7S + Y O2 • Z CO2 + Q H2O + R SO2 • Complexity S, C, H, O • Eliminate S: • X = R • R C3H7S + Y O2 • Z CO2 + Q H2O + R SO2
R C3H7S + Y O2 • Z CO2 + Q H2O + R SO2 • Eliminate C: 3R = Z • R C3H7S + Y O2 • 3R CO2 + Q H2O + R SO2
R C3H7S + Y O2 • 3R CO2 + Q H2O + R SO2 • Eliminate H: • 7R = 2Q; • 7/2R = Q • R C3H7S + Y O2 • 3R CO2 + 7/2R H2O + R SO2
R C3H7S + Y O2 • 3R CO2 + 7/2R H2O + R SO2 Eliminate O: 2Y = 6R + 7/2 R + 2R = 23/2 R • Y = 23/4R • R C3H7S + 23/4R O2 • 3R CO2 + 7/2R H2O + R SO2
R C3H7S + 23/4R O2 • 3R CO2 + 7/2R H2O + R SO2 • Multiply Everything by 4 • 4R C3H7S + 23R O2 • 12R CO2 + 14R H2O + 4R SO2
4R C3H7S + 23R O2 • 12R CO2 + 14R H2O + 4R SO2 Divide by R • 4 C3H7S + 23 O2 • 12 CO2 + 14 H2O + 4 SO2

“Disorder in the American Courts”These are statements people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters. ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning? WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
