What’s the hidden word?
K + Cl2 KCl
Example
3. Aluminum hydroxide reacts with hydrogen
bromide to produce aluminum bromide and water
Al + HCl H2 + AlCl3
Example
5. Phosphoric acid reacts with calcium hydroxide
to produce calcium phosphate and water.
H3PO4+Ca(OH)2 Ca3(PO4)2+H2O
MECHANICS
The first student from each team runs to the chair in
front, balances the equation, and runs back to tag the
next student.
The relay race continues until all team members have
balanced the equation.
The team with the fastest time and correctly balanced
equation wins.
ANSWERS:
2 H2 + 1 O2 2 H2O
1 CH4 + 2 O2 1 CO2 + 2 H2O
4 P + 5 O2 2 P2O5
1 S8 + 12 O2 8 SO3
1 Pb(OH)2 + 2 HCl 2 H2O + 1 PbCl2
How does a balancing chemical equation
