When finely powdered magnesium is added to hydrochloric acid, it violently reacts, producing magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas.
1. Write down the word equation
2. Write down the balanced symbol equation
3. Is this a combination reaction or not? Explain your answer.
When iron filings are mixed with sulfur powder and heated, they react with a bright red glow, producing a dark brown substance – known as iron sulfide.1. Write down the word equation for this
reaction2. Write down the symbol equation3. Define combination reaction4. Describe why the above reaction is a
combination reaction
Find the unbalanced equations, then balance them.1. C + H2O → CO + H2
2. Mg + O2 → MgO
3. CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
4. CuO + H2 → Cu + H2O
5. Mg + H2O → Mg(OH)2 + H2
6. Fe2O3 + CO → Fe + CO2
7. C2H6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

Combination Reaction• It is a type of reaction in which two or
more substances “chemically” combine to produce a single substance.
• A + B → AB• The product most often has different
properties from those of the reactants.
Aluminium + Iodine = Aluminium Iodide
