Equations Types of Reactions
Four major classes • Synthesis • Decomposition • Single Replacement • Double Replacement
Synthesis • A marriage of two substances (reactants) to form one new substance (product) • A + B AB • The reactants can either be elements or compounds. • The product is always one compound. • Example: C + O2 CO2
Decomposition • Opposite of synthesis • A divorce of one substance (reactant) to form two or more simpler substances (products) • AB A + B • The reactant is always one compound. • The products can either be elements or compounds. • Example: 2 HgO 2 Hg + O2
Single Replacement • One element takes the place of another in a compound • The element can replace the first part of a compound, or it can replace the last part of a compound. • A + BC B + AC (cationic)
Single Replacement, cont • D + BC C + BD (anionic) • Element + compound element + compound • 7 elements are diatomic: N2, H2, Cl2, O2, Br2, F2, I2 • Example: Zn + 2 HCl ZnCl2 + H2
Double Replacement • The positive and negative portions of two compounds switch places. • Compound + compound compound + compound • AB + CD AD + CB • Example: HCl + KOH HOH + KCl
Combustion Reactions • Two types of Combustion Reactions: 1. Complete Combustion CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O Always involves a hydrocarbon fuel source and oxygen as reactants, and carbon dioxide and water as products. Occurs when oxygen levels are high.
Combustion Reactions • 2. Incomplete Combustion CxHy + O2 CO + H2O Always involves a hydrocarbon fuel source and oxygen as reactants, and carbon monoxide and water as products. Occurs when oxygen levels are insufficient to support combustion.
COMBUSTION: 1. complete CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O2. incomplete CxHy + O2 CO + H2O • When the reaction description includes the terms combusts, burns, oxidizes, or reacts with air, add oxygen as a reactant. • Determine whether the reaction is complete or incomplete combustion; then write the products. • Balance the carbons. • Balance the hydrogens. • Balance the oxygens.
COMBUSTION: 1. complete CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O2. incomplete CxHy + O2 CO + H2O • A propane (C3H8)grill is lit on the outside deck. • C3H8 + O2 + H2O
COMBUSTION: 1. complete CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O2. incomplete CxHy + O2 CO + H2O • A propane (C3H8)grill is lit in a closed garage. • C3H8 + O2 + H2O
COMBUSTION: 1. complete CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O2. incomplete CxHy + O2 CO + H2O • A butane lighter (C4H10)burns completely. • C4H10 + O2 + H2O
