**Problem Set #15 – Balance Reactions**

1. **Write the formula equations and then balance each of the following reactions**

   a. Aluminum chlorate plus heat gives aluminum chloride and oxygen gas

      \[
      2 \text{Al(ClO}_3\text{)}_3 \rightarrow 2 \text{AlCl}_3 + 9 \text{O}_2
      \]

   b. Magnesium nitride plus water gives ammonia and magnesium hydroxide
   
   c. Ferric sulfide plus oxygen gas gives ferric oxide plus sulfur dioxide
   
   d. Chromium sulfide plus hydrochloric acid gives chromium chloride and hydrogen sulfide

   e. Aluminum metal plus hydrochloric acid gives aluminum chloride plus hydrogen gas

   f. Aluminum hydroxide plus sulfuric acid gives aluminum sulfate plus water
   
   g. Sodium arsenate plus stannic chloride gives stannic arsenate plus sodium chloride

   h. Lead (II) sulfide plus oxygen gas gives lead (II) oxide plus sulfur dioxide

   i. Phosphoric acid plus ammonium hydroxide gives ammonium phosphate plus water

   j. \( \text{C}_{14}\text{H}_{30} \) plus oxygen gas gives carbon dioxide plus water

---

**Instructions:**

For each chemical reaction provided:

- Write the unbalanced formula equation.
- Balance the equation by ensuring the law of conservation of mass is followed (i.e., the same number of each type of atom appears on both sides of the equation).

**Note:** The incomplete reactions listed (b-j) must be formulated properly by writing out the chemical formulas of the reactants and products, followed by balancing. The provided example under part (a) serves as a guide for how balanced equations should be structured.
