 1. Write the chemical formula for the following compounds : (Refer the above table)
i. Calcium nitrate
ii. Sodium oxide
iii. Aluminiumchloride
iv. Iron( iii)oxide or ferric oxide
v. Ammonium carbonate
vi. Hydrogen sulphide
vii. Lead nitrate
viii. Zinc carbonate
ix. Magnesium hydroxide.
x. Potassium bicarbonate
2. Why is it necessary to balance a chemical equation?
3. Why respiration is considered an exothermic reaction? Explain.
4. Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate term:

A ________________ ________________ tells the story of a chemical reaction.

________________ are the starting substances in the reaction while ________________
are the new substances that are formed. The large numbers in front of some of the
formulas are called ________________. These numbers are used to ________________
the equation because chemical reactions must obey the Law of ________________ of
Matter. The number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation must be
________________ because matter cannot be ________________ or
________________. When balancing equations, the only numbers that can be changed
are ________________; remember that ________________ must never be changed in
order to balance an equation.

II. Balance the following equations:

1. Al + O2 → Al2O3

2. C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

3. Al(NO3)3 +NaOH → Al(OH)3 +NaNO3

4. KNO3 → KNO2 + O2

5. O2 + CS2 → CO2 + SO2

6. KClO3 → KCl + O2

7. BaF2 + K3PO4 → Ba3(PO4)2 + KF

8. H2SO4 + Mg(NO3)2 → MgSO4 + HNO3

9. Al + H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + H2

10. WO3 + H2 → W + H2O
