In the real world, you do not have a program to balance equations for you. For questions 12-16 below, please fill in the first table below to indicate the initial numbers of reactant and product atoms. Balance the equation on your own and then fill in the second table for an updated table of reactant and product atoms which shows that the equation has been balanced.
Example:
H2 + I2 ® HI

Make a table to show the initial numbers of reactant and product atoms:

Atoms on the left of the arrow Atoms on the right of the arrow
2 H 1 H
2 I 1 I

Balance the equation: H2 + I2 ® 2 HI

Make a table to show that the reaction is correctly balanced:

Atoms on the left of the arrow Atoms on the right of the arrow
2 H 2 H
2 I 2 I
