Hi, for my AP Chemistry class we do reaction prediction problems. We get sheets of them, ones that say things like A limited amount of liquid bromine is added to an excess of benzene or Solid zinc slufide is heated in an excess of oxygen, or Dilute acetic acid solution is added to solid magnesium carbonateOur teacher hasn‘t really taught us anything, it‘s pretty much read and learn the concepts on your own. I‘m having trouble with turning names into compounds? Like how do I know copper (II) sulfate is Cu2+(sulfate). Like I‘m having trouble taking the written out name of the substances and putting them into chemical notation O2, CO2H2O, etc. also how do I know the charges and how do I balance them? I realize some are polyatomic ions and must be memorized, but yeah I just need a quick general breakdown of doing these reaction prediction problems!Thanks
