I. Identify whether the following equations are balanced or unbalanced.

Write B if
balanced and U if unbalanced on the blank provided before each number.

U 1.) Fe2O3 + C → Fe + CO2

B 2.) SiO2+2Mg⟶Si+2MgO
U 3.) Fe + O2 → Fe2O3
B 4.) 2Fe + 3 Cl2 → 2FeCl3
B 5.) 2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3 CO2

II. Balance the following equations:

1. PCl5(s) + H2O(l) → POCl3(l) + HCl(aq)
- PCl5(s) + H2O(l) → POCl3(l) + 2HCl(aq)

Cl 5 3+2
H 2 2
O 1 1

2. Ag(s) + H2S(g) + O2(g) → Ag2S(s) + H2O(l)

- 4Ag(s) + 2H2S(g) + O2(g) → 2Ag2S(s) + 2H2O(l)
