WS 1.7: Harder Balancing Problems
Directions: Balance the following chemical equations. Descriptions of the equation, physical states, and atoms that are ions (have a
positive or negative charge) have absolutely no effect on balancing. The problems at the very end with a “**” are extremely difficult.
They are far more difficult than the problems that will appear on your test of final exam. Give them a try if you like a challenge or have
extra time in class
