Senior 2 Chemistry: Chemical Equations by Katenta Joseph
0 views 0 downloads 0 shares 3 October 2026

These notes introduce chemical equations by distinguishing reactants from products and word equations from symbolic representations. They explain how to select correct formulae, represent diatomic elements, balance atoms using coefficients, and add physical state symbols. Worked examples cover reactions forming magnesium oxide, iron(III) chloride, water and potassium fluoride. Further examples explore decomposition, displacement and reactions involving acids. Three exercises ask learners to convert word equations into chemical equations and balance supplied equations. The resource is attributed to Katenta Joseph and includes a link to an online school library.
