    1. as a pure metal, or as a cation (in an ionic compound)

      If it forms a pure metal does it have a charge or why would it be neutral?

    2. CaCO3(s) -->   CaCO(s) + CO2(g)  As the name implies, something decomposes into something else.  Here Calcium Carbonate decomposes to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide

      I do not think this is balanced correctly.

    3. Carbon dioxide and water are also released if the compound contains carbon.

      So will water always be a product of a combustion reaction?

    4. In a combustion reaction a compound reacts with oxygen and releases energy.

      in a combustion equation is it correct to say the compound that will combust will always contain carbon and hydrogen and oxygen?

    5. F2(g)  +  BaCl2(aq)   ->    BaF2(g) +  Cl2(g)

      will we have to predict the form of compounds? (aq, s, g, l, etc)

    6. In a double displacement reaction, the ions of two ionic compounds swap counter ions.

      Is the charge affected or changed in this type of reaction?

    1. (aq) - aqueous

      I understand that 'aqueous' means in water, and I know that you don't just add it to an equation. It is a phase. But I would like to know why it is not added to the equation? How come NaCl(aq) is not NaClH20.
