6.1-6.2 Reaction Types Synthesis, Decomposition and Combustion
Types of Chemical Reactions • There are 6 ways elements and compounds may interact • You can predict the products of a reaction if you can identify the reactants you are using • General chemical equations (GCE) use letters in the place of the symbols of elements. They help you identify the reaction type
Symbols in GCE • A single letter is a metal or non-metal Ex. A, B, X • H is for the hydrogen in an acid • OH is for hydroxide in a base • Two letters Ex. AB, CD represent a compound Example: GCE: HB + XOH XB + H2O Word equation: sulfuric acid + sodium hydroxide sodium sulfate + water Skeleton equation: H2SO4 (aq) + NaOH (s) Na2SO4 (aq) + H2O (l) Balanced Equation:H2SO4 (aq) + 2 NaOH (s) Na2SO4 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)
1. Synthesis Reactions Element + Element Compound In general A + B AB Example: Mg (s) + O2 (g) MgO (s) S8 (g) + O2(g) SO2 (g) H2 (g) + N2 (g) 2NH3 (g)
2. Decomposition Reactions • A compound is broken down into two or more elements or simpler compounds Compound Element + Element In general, AB A + B Example: 2 HgO (s) 2 Hg (l) + O2(g) 2 H2O (l) 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g)
3.Combustion Reactions • A compound or element rapidly reacts with oxygen gas • Heat and light are given off • Usually involve a hydrocarbon (a compound made up of only hydrogen and carbon) • The formula for a hydrocarbon is general CxHy (x and y are subscript numbers) Ex. CH4 is methane
Combustion A. Complete combustion -plenty of oxygen is available In general, CxHy (g)+ O2 (g) CO2 (g) + H2O (l) • Incomplete combustion -Oxygen is in limited supply In general, CxHy (g)+ O2 (g) C(s) + CO (g) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
Impact on the Environment • Global warming – the combustion of hydrocarbons releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas • Cleaning oil spills – on land, the oil can be set on fire (combustion) then the contaminated soil is removed for additional treatment
Determine the reaction type 2 Na + Cl2 2 NaCl Type: CH4 + 2 O2 CO2 + 2 H2O Type: 2NI3 N2 + 3 I2 Type:
Predict the Products • NH3 Type:_______ • Na + Cl2 Type:_______ • S8 + O2 Type:_______ • CH4 + O2 Type:_______ • C2H6 + O2 Type:_______ plenty deficient
