We have learned about balancing chemical equations as well as assigning of state symbols.
Let’s look at some examination questions and my suggested solutions.
Q) Write balanced chemical equations for each of the following reactions. Include the State Symbols.
(a) calcium + chlorine –> calcium chloride
(b) hydrogen + nitrogen –> ammonia
(c) ethane (C2H6) + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water
My Suggested Answer:
(a) Ca(s) + Cl2(g) –> CaCl2(aq)
(b) 3H2(g) + N2(g) –> 2NH3(g)
(c) 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) –> 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

Many know me as the Ten Year Series book author for JC A-Level H2 Chemistry and O-Level Pure Chemistry. My 19+ years of coaching experience (since 1999) with more than 1500 students from 180+ JCs and Secondary Schools has allowed me to understand the true reasons why students are not able to perform well in Chemistry. Most importantly, my strength lies in using everyday analogies (even grandmothers can understand!) to simplify abstract concepts. Also, my teaching methodology has been designed to be fun, enjoyable and effective for my students.

Balancing a redox reaction:what are the necessary steps?
I need some stoichiometry questions.
Your answer is correct, balancing in stoichiometri and right in symbolyzing.i think you should be a proffesor in basic concept of chemistry.
And thanks for your couraging emails. its make me survive in these difficult and bad people. hope you will always write more and more simple concept in chemistry for us.
best regards from the biochemist.
