Balancing Chemical Equations Worksheet Answers

Check these answers against the work you did on the six problems

Notes on the problems

#s 1, 2 & 4 are very similar to the problems we did in class. #3 should look very familiar and you should make yourself familiar with it (hint, hint) #5 is easy-peasy #6 will stretch your ability. Begin with the big compound on the reactants side 7 and 1 just wont workthink one step up
