ooppss i thought i did...I didnt guiet understand the template thing
 
jessie12,
The main thing either with or without usage of the suggested template, is that you need to try to follow guidance and hints, and you need to show some effort or show some work attempt. Show us your attempt to write and balance the reaction.
