CuCl3 will decompose into its two elements. Finish writing the equation:

CuCl--> 

CuCl--> Cu + Cl2

elemental copper is monoatomic, elemental chlorine is diatomic

Finish this synthesis equation:

Sulfur, oxygen and sodium react to form sodium sulfate.

S8 + O2 + Na -->


S8 + O2 + Na --> Na2SO4

Na goes 1st in formula because cations go 1st

400

Methane gas (CH4) reacts with oxygen gas and produces steam and carbon dioxide.

CH4(g) + O2(g) --> H2O(g) + CO2

*you need to know the formula for carbon dioxide because that's a product for combustion reactions.

400

Balance this equation:

__C7H6O2 + __O2 --> __CO2 + __H2O

2  15  14  6

C7H6O2 + 15 O2 --> 14 CO2 + 6 H2O

Finish writing this combustion reaction when C7H16O  is the fuel: 

C7H16O

C7H16O + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

You just have to know:

- O2 is a reactant

- CO2 and H2O are products

of combustion
