    How can i solve word equations in Chemistry?
    I know how to solve chemical equations, but I think it is soooo much harder to figure out how to do a problem like this

    Directions: Write and balance the following chemical reactions.

    Copper(II) sulfide reacts with nitric acid to produce copper(II) sulfate, water, and nitrogen dioxide.

    Example:

    CuS + HNO3 --> Cu2S + H2O + N

    Then put in the charges above the elements

    When the questions says "reacts" it means you put a plus sign. When it says "produces" you put the arrow. Understand?
