Predicting and Balancing Decomposition Reactions
This worksheet is a good followup to the synthesis reactions worksheet, because all of the same rules and ideas apply, simply in reverse. I keep the problems in this assignment simple by either focusing on simple binary ionic compounds or giving students the names of the products in advance.
Essential Concepts: Chemical reactions, decomposition reactions, balancing equations, predicting products, oxidation state.
