Classify and Balance Chemical Equations Exercise Set with Keys

Welcome! This listing features a pair of single page activities for chemistry or physical science. In the first activity, students will balance and classify sixteen chemical equations. In the second activity, students will classify and balance fifteen chemical equations. Students will identify and state the equations as being synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, or combustion reactions.

I included a two-tier balancing guideline at the top of each student page. The first tier instructs students to balance the metals first and the nonmetals second for most of the reactions. The second tier teaches students to adjust carbon first, hydrogen second, and oxygen third for the combustion reactions.

I also provided a boxed in classification blueprint bank for each reaction at the bottom of each student activity page. This product comes with two keys with the answers in red font.
