II. Five basic types of chemical reactions:. Synthesis (composition) Decomposition Single Replacement Ionic or Double Replacement Combustion. A. Synthesis (composition):. two or more elements or compounds may combine to form a more complex compound. Basic form: A + X AX.
E N D
Synthesis (composition) • Decomposition • Single Replacement • Ionic or Double Replacement • Combustion
A. Synthesis (composition): • two or more elements or compounds may combine to form a more complex compound. • Basic form: A + X AX
Examples of synthesis reactions • Metal + oxygen metal oxide • ex. 2Mg + O2 2MgO
Nonmetal + oxygen nonmetallic oxide • ex. C + O2 CO2
Metal oxide + water metallic hydroxide • ex. MgO + H2O Mg(OH)2
Nonmetallic oxide + water acid • ex. CO2 + H2O H2CO3
Metal + nonmetal salt • ex. 2 Na + Cl2 2NaCl
A few nonmetals combine with each other. ex. 2P + 3Cl2 2PCl3
What do all of these have in common? 2Mg + O2 2MgO • C + O2 CO2 CO2 + H2O H2CO3 MgO + H2O Mg(OH)2 2 Na + Cl2 2NaCl 2P + 3Cl2 2PCl3 Only one product is formed.
Example(from Chemistry Interactive 2.0 CD, disk 1) Zinc + Iodine zinc iodide Oxygen + Hydrogen Water
B. Decomposition: • A single compound breaks down into its component parts or simpler compounds. • Basic form: AX A + X
Examples of decomposition reactions: • Metallic carbonates, when heated, form metallic oxides and CO2 . • ex. CaCO3 CaO + CO2
Most metallic hydroxides, when heated, decompose into metallic oxides and water. • ex. Ca(OH)2 CaO + H2O
Metallic chlorates, when heated, decompose into metallic chlorides and oxygen. • ex. 2KClO3 2KCl + 3O2
Some acids, when heated, decompose into nonmetallic oxides and water. • ex. H2SO4 H2O + SO3
Some oxides, when heated, decompose. • ex. 2HgO 2Hg + O2
Some decomposition reactions are produced by electricity. • ex. 2H2O 2H2 + O2 • ex. 2NaCl 2Na + Cl2
What do all of these have in common? • CaCO3 CaO + CO2 • Ca(OH)2 CaO + H2O • 2KClO3 2KCl + 3O2 • H2SO4 H2O + SO3 • 2HgO 2Hg + O2 • 2H2O 2H2 + O2 They have only one reactant.
Example • Decomposition of ammonium dichromate
C. Single Replacement: • a more active element takes the place of another element in a compound and sets the less active one free. • Basic form: A + BX AX + B • or • AX + Y AY + X
Examples of replacement reactions: • Replacement of a metal in a compound by a more active metal. • ex. Fe + CuSO4FeSO4 + Cu
Replacement of hydrogen in water by an active metal. • ex. 2Na + 2H2O 2NaOH + H2 • ex. Mg + H2O MgO + H2
Replacement of hydrogen in acids by active metals. • ex. Zn + 2HCl ZnCl2 + H2
Replacement of nonmetals by more active nonmetals. • ex. Cl2 + 2NaBr 2NaCl + Br2
D. Ionic or Double Replacement: • occurs between ions in aqueous solution. • A reaction will occur when a pair of ions come together to produce at least one of the following: • a precipitate • a gas • water or some other non-ionized substance. • Basic form: AX + BY AY + BX
Examples of ionic reactions: • Formation of precipitate. • ex. NaCl + AgNO3 NaNO3 + AgCl • ex. BaCl2 + Na2 SO4 2NaCl + BaSO4
Formation of a gas. • ex. HCl + FeS - FeCl2 + H2S
Formation of water. (If the reaction is between an acid and a base it is called a neutralization reaction.) • ex. HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O
Formation of a product which decomposes. • ex. CaCO3 + HCl CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
Combustion of Hydrocarbons: • When a hydrocarbon is burned with sufficient oxygen supply, the products are always carbon dioxide and water vapor. • If the hydrocarbon has an even number of carbons, start with a coefficient of 2 CxHy • Balance in this order: C, H, O
If the supply of oxygen is low or restricted, then carbon monoxide will be produced. • This is why it is so dangerous to have an automobile engine running inside a closed garage or to use a charcoal grill indoors.
NOTE: • The phrase "To burn" means to add oxygen unless told otherwise.
(CxHy) + O2 CO2 + H2O • ex. CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O • ex. 2C4H10 13O2 8CO2 + 10H2O
