CHEMISTRY 11 EQUATION WORKSHEET #1
BALANCING EQUATIONS FOR SYNTHESIS REACTION:
Synthesis or combination reaction involves the combination of two or more
substances to form a compound.
Balance the following equations by writing the simplest whole number coefficient in the
space provided.
1 -H@+ __ Fre
2 2 soy+ 3 Br
3 Hae +o

5. 2 nNay +
Write in the formulae for the products in the following synthesis reactions and then
balance the equations.
~ To predict the product, you must join the two reactants together.
~The formula of the product is determined by examining the combining capacities of
cach reactant. Do not simply join the two together maintaining the same coefficient
of the reactants.
