6.2 Types of Reactions Objectives Distinguish among the five major types of chemical reactions. Classify a reaction as belonging to one of five major types.
Why Reactions Are Classified • So that scientists could have an idea about what is going to happen when a particular reaction occurs. • To know what type of products to expect and what precautions need to be taken.
Major Classes of Reactions • Synthesis • Decomposition • Single-Displacement • Double-Displacement • Combustion
Synthesis • Synthesis- two or more substances combine to form one product. • Examples • 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) 2 NaCl(s) • 4 Fe(s) + 3 O2(g) 2Fe2O3(s) • 2 CO(g) + O2 (g) 2 CO2 (g)
Decomposition • Decomposition – a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. • Examples • 2 H2O(l) 2 H2(g) + O2(g) • 2 HgO(l) 2 Hg(l) + O2(g) • 2 H2O2(aq) 2 H2O(l) + O2(g)
Single-Displacement • Single-Displacement - one element takes the place of another in a compound • Examples • Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s) • Cl2(g) + 2 NaBr(aq) 2 NaCl(aq) + Br2(l) • Cl2(g) + 2 KBr(aq) 2 KCl(aq) + Br2 (aq)
Double-Displacement • Double-Displacement – positive portions of two ionic compounds are interchanged. • One of the products is either a precipitate or water • Examples • Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 KI(aq) PbI2(s) + 2 KNO3 (aq) • PbCl2(s) + Li2SO4(aq) PbSO4(s) +2 LiCl(aq) • BaCl2(aq) + H2SO4(aq) 2 HCl(aq) + BaSO4(s)
Combustion • Combustion – a substance rapidly combines with oxygen to form one or more oxides. • Examples • 2 C2H2(g) + 5 O2(g) 4 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g) • CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g) • C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g)
Review • What are the five major types of reactions? • Describe each and give an example.
