    Balance the equations from caries types of reactions 

    In this tutorial, I will introduce different types of reaction that you will encounter in your science courses. With the help of some popular experiments, I will discuss what happens in each reaction. We will produce a word equation of each reaction and convert it to symbol equations. Finally we will apply our knowledge of balancing equations to ensure our symbol equation for each reaction is balanced.
