Worksheet: Balancing Chemical Equations with Models

Instructions: Use the models provided to balance the chemical equations below. Write the balanced equation in the space provided.

Example: Model: H2 + O2 → H2O Balanced Equation: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

  1. Model: Fe + O2 → Fe2O3 Balanced Equation: ___Fe + ___O2 → ___Fe2O3

  2. Model: Na + Cl2 → NaCl Balanced Equation: ___Na + ___Cl2 → ___NaCl

  3. Model: H2 + Cl2 → HCl Balanced Equation: ___H2 + ___Cl2 → ___HCl

  4. Model: C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O Balanced Equation: ___C3H8 + ___O2 → ___CO2 + ___H2O

  5. Model: Mg + O2 → MgO Balanced Equation: ___Mg + ___O2 → ___MgO

  6. Model: NH3 + O2 → NO + H2O Balanced Equation: ___NH3 + ___O2 → ___NO + ___H2O

  7. Model: C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O Balanced Equation: ___C6H12O6 + ___O2 → ___CO2 + ___H2O

  8. Model: Al + O2 → Al2O3 Balanced Equation: ___Al + ___O2 → ___Al2O3

  9. Model: CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O Balanced Equation: ___CH4 + ___O2 → ___CO2 + ___H2O

  10. Model: C4H10 + O2 → CO2 + H2O Balanced Equation: ___C4H10 + ___O2 → ___CO2 + ___H2O

Note: The numbers in the blanks represent the coefficients needed to balance the equation.

Now I want to create 3 different versions of this. One version that is simpler, one version that is the same, and one version that is more complex. Format the output in 3 nice sections.
