Practice: Balance each of the chemical equations below. (Some equations may already be in balance.) In the space to the right, classify the reaction as a synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, or double replacement reaction. A. AgNO3 + KCl AgCl + KNO3 B. H2O + SO3 H2SO4 C. KI + Cl2 KCl + I2 D. NaHCO3 Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 E. Zn + HCl ZnCl2 + H2 F. BaCl2 + Na2SO4 BaSO4 + NaCl G. C3H8 + O2 CO2 + H2O H. Al + CuCl2 AlCl3 + Cu

Explanation:

A. AgNO3 + KCl --> AgCl + KNO3

Reaction is already balanced.

Type = Double Replacement

B. H2O + SO3 --> H2SO4

Reaction is already balanced.

Type = Synthesis

C. KI + Cl2 --> KCl + I2

Balanced Equation = 2KI + Cl2 --> 2KCl + I2

Type = Single Replacement

D. NaHCO3 --> Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

Balanced Equation = 2NaHCO3 --> Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

Type = Decomposition

E. Zn + HCl  --> ZnCl2 + H2

Balanced Equation = Zn + 2HCl  --> ZnCl2 + H2

Type = Single Replacement

F. BaCl2 + Na2SO4 --> BaSO4 + NaCl

Balanced Equation =  BaCl2 + Na2SO4 → 2NaCl + BaSO4  

Type = Double Replacement

G. C3H8 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

Balanced Equation =  C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O  

Type = Single Replacement

H. Al + CuCl2 --> AlCl3 + Cu

Balanced Equation =   2Al + 3CuCl2 → 2AlCl3 + 3Cu  

Type = Single Replacement

chemistry sucks a**

explanation:

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
