NOT BALANCED

(b) K2O + H2O ---> 2 KOH

BALANCED

(c) K + Br2 ---> KBr

NOT BALANCED

(d) H2SO4 + NaCl ---> 2 HCl + Na2SO4

NOT BALANCED

(e) N2 + H2 ---> 2 NH3

NOT BALANCED

(f) HNO3 + A1(OH)3 ---> H2O + A1(NO3)3

NOT BALANCED

2. Balance these equations. (Coefficients are in bold for the balanced equation).

(a) K2O + H2O ---> 2 KOH

(b) A1(NO3)3 + 3 NaOH ---> A1(OH)3 + 3 NaNO3

(c) H2SO4 + BaCl2 ---> BaSO4 + 2 HCl

(d) Ni + 2 HNO3 ---> Ni(NO3)2 + H2

(e) 2 NH3 + H2SO4 ---> (NH4)2SO4

(f) CaCl2 + Na2CO3 ---> CaCO3 + 2 NaCl

(g) K2CO3 + 2 HCl ---> 2 KCl + H2O + CO2

(h) (NH4)2CO3 + 2 NaOH ---> 2 NH3 + Na2CO3 + 2 H2O

(i) P4O10 + 6 H2O ---> 4 H3PO4

(j) 2 KClO3 ---> 2 KCl + 3 O2

(k) C3H8 + 5 O2 ---> 3 CO2 + 4 H2O

(l) sodium hydroxide + copper (II) sulfate ---> copper (II) hydroxide + sodium sulfate

2 NaOH + CuSO4 ---> Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4

(m) sodium phosphate + calcium chloride ---> sodium chloride + calcium phosphate

2 Na3PO4 + 3 CaCl2 ---> Ca3(PO4)2 + 6 NaCl

(n) iron(III) perchlorate + barium hydroxide ---> barium perchlorate + iron(III) hydroxide

2 Fe(ClO4)3 + 3 Ba(OH)2 ---> 3 Ba(ClO4)2 + 2 Fe(OH)3

(o) sodium acetate + hydrogen chloride ---> sodium chloride + acetic acid

NaCH3CO2 + HCl ---> NaCl + HCH3CO2

(c) NO

N2 + O2 ---> 2 NO

(d) Al2O3

4 Al + 3 O2 ---> 2 Al2O3

(e) MgS

8 Mg + S8 ---> 8 MgS

(f) Ag2S

16 Ag + S8 ---> 8 Ag2S

(g) CrI3

2 Cr + 3 I2 ---> 2 CrI3

(h) Li3N

6 Li + N2 ---> 2 Li3N
