Background Info:

Single displacement reaction: A + BC → B + AC

Double displacement reaction: AB + CD → AD + CB

Synthesis reaction: A + B → AB

Decomposition reaction: AB → A + B

Combustion reaction: A + O2 → CO2 + H2O

 

Solve:

Beryllium Fluoride + Lithium Sulfate → ?
A = atoms of oxygen produced

Magnesium Chloride + Ammonium Nitrate → ?
B = moles of ammonium chloride produced

Ferric Chloride + Potassium Hydroxide → ?
C = (atoms of chlorine reacted) - (molecules of hydroxide produced)

Sodium + Sulfuric Acid → ?
D = total atoms produced

Strontium + Rubidium Sulfate → ?
E = (atoms of oxygen reacted) + (atoms of oxygen produced) + (molecules of sulfate produced)

Ammonium Phosphate + Francium Oxalate → ?
F = (number of oxygen atoms produced) ÷ 5

Pentane + Oxygen → ?
G = (number of water molecules produced) ÷ 2

Aluminum Dichromate + Ammonium Sulfate → ?
H = (atoms of oxygen in dichromate produced) - (atoms of oxygen in sulfate produced)

Ethane + Oxygen → ?
I = molecules of oxygen gas reacted

Copper(I) Tartrate + Sulfuric Acid → ?
J = atoms of phosphorus produced

Aluminum + Chlorine → ?
K = atoms of chlorine reacted

Beryllium + Ammonium Nitrate → ?
L = atoms in the produced molecule which contains beryllium

Barium + Bromine → ?
M = atoms of barium produced

Ethyne + Oxygen → ?
N = (molecules of oxygen reacted) + (molecules of carbon dioxide produced)
