Learn to predict products & reaction types in chemistry. Understand synthesis, decomposition, single & double replacement, precipitate predictions, combustion reactions. Practice provided.
E N D
Predicting Products • Decide what type of reaction it is based on what the reactants given. • Figure out what will happen to the reactants (how they will react)
TIP: Remember the exceptions! See “Types of Reactions” Notes from the very beginning of this unit.
Combination/Synthesis • A + B AB • Probable Product: A single compound • Mg + O2
Decomposition • AB A + B • Probable Product: More than 1 compound and/or element • Ca(OH)2
Single Replacement • A + BC AC + B • Probable Product: A single element and new compound • Use activity series to determine if a reaction will happen! • Cu + AgNO3
Double Replacement • AB + CD AD + CB • Probable Product: Two new compounds • Use solubility rules to determine which product is the precipitate and (if any) which are spectators
Precipitate Predictions • Use the solubility chart to determine if any of the products will be insoluble (ppt) from the aqueous reactants • Pb(NO3)2 + H2SO4 • Na3PO4 + AlCl3
Combustion • CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O • Probable products (if reactant is a hydrocarbon): CO2 & H2O
Practice • K2O + H2O • K2CO3 + BaCl2 • NaCl + F2 • C3H8 + O2
