Unit: Chemical equations and reactions

Objective: To understand the balancing of different types of chemical reactions.

Task 1: REACTION PREDICTION

If the word equation is complete, write and balance the chemical equation. If the word equation is
incomplete, complete it and write the balanced chemical equation. Tell the type of reaction. Give
reason(s) for the product(s)

1. barium chloride + sodium sulfate →

2. calcium + hydrochloric acid →

3. iron(II) sulfide + hydrochloric acid → hydrogen sulfide (g) +

4. zinc chloride + ammonium sulfide →

5. ammonia + oxygen → nitric acid + water

6. magnesium + nitric acid →

7. potassium + water →
