Balance the following symbol equations:

i. Ca + O2 ---> CaO
ii. Al + O2 ---> Al2O3
iii. Fe + Cl2 ----> FeCl3
iv. CaCO3 + HCl ---> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
v. Na + H2O ----> NaOH + H2
vi. C3H8 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O

(HINT: One of them is already balanced)

2Na (s) + Cl2 (g) à 2NaCl (s)

2) Write a balanced equation for the formation of aluminium oxide (Al2O3)

4Al (s) + 3O2 (g) à 2Al2O3 (s)

3) Balance this equation:
N2 (g) + 2 O2(g) à 2 NO2(g)

STRETCH: Balance these equations:

2NaOH (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) à Na2SO4 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) à 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (g)
