Geocache Description:

Cache is not at posted coordinates! NO PI at the time I placed the cache. Please let me know if I missed anything! Park closes at dusk!

OK People lets take this back to high school chemistry!


In balancing chemical equations, you can't change a subscript because that would change the whole material you are combining but you can change the coefficient, which is how many of each element or molecule there is. The total number of each specific element must be the same on both sides of the equation.  Please note there are more coefficients than letters for the coordinates.  In other words, the letters are there for the coordinates you will be using.  They are the letters that are bolded and underlined. Check your answers below with Certitude!

Balance the following chemical equations and place the letters in the following coordinates-

N 40 AB.CDE          W 73 FG.HIJ


H H2 +  O2G H2O

 N2 + F H2 ⇒ NH3

P4O10     +   H2O  ⇒  D  H3PO4

 Al2O3    +  C Fe  ⇒   Fe3O4    +   E  Al

 KClO3   ⇒  KCl   +   J O2 

 Al    +   I  H2SO4    ⇒     Al2(SO4)3     +   H2

Be2C   +   B H2O   ⇒    Be(OH)2     +   CH4 

Cu   +   HNO3   ⇒  Cu(NO3)2    +  NO   +  A  H2

 


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
