(2.3) TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS (p144-147)
Chemical Reaction • Reactants - the starting materials in a reaction. • Products - the new materials formed in a reaction.
Chemical Equation Describes a chemical reaction reactants products Note: The symbol () can be read as yields or forms or produces
Chemical Reactions – 4 Types • 4 main types of chemical reactions • Synthesis • Decomposition • Single displacement • Double displacement
1. Synthesis Reactions • Two or more reactants combine to form a new product. • GENERAL CHEMICAL EQUATION (GCE)
Synthesis Reactions-Examples • sodium + oxygen sodium oxide • 2 H2+ O2 2 H2O
2. Decomposition Reactions • A compound is broken down into elements or smaller compounds. • GENERAL CHEMICAL EQUATION (GCE)
Decomposition Reactions-Examples • sodium oxide sodium + oxygen • 2 H2O 2 H2 + O2
3. Single Displacement Reactions • One element replaces another element to form a new compound. • GENERAL CHEMICAL EQUATION (GCE) Or
Single Displacement- Examples • calcium + hydrogen bromide calcium bromide + hydrogen • Br2 + 2 KI + 2 KBr + I2
4. Double Displacement Reactions • In a double displacement reaction the metal ions in two compounds switch places…”partner swap” • GENERAL CHEMICAL EQUATION (GCE)
Double Displacement- Examples • barium sulfide + potassium iodide barium iodide + potassium sulfide • AgNO3 + KCl AgCl + KNO3
Chemical Reactions – 5th Type • Another reaction type is Combustion (also called burning) • The burning of fossil fuels always needs oxygen and will yield predictable products. • Complete combustion: lots of O2 Fuel + oxygen carbon dioxide + water (in general) CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O CH4 + 2 O2 CO2 + 2 H2O
5. Combustion Reactions • The burning of fossil fuels always requires oxygen and will yield predictable products. • Complete combustion: lots of O2 Fuel + oxygen carbon dioxide + water CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O CH4 + 2 O2 CO2 + 2 H2O
Combustion Continued • Incomplete combustion: occurs when there is not enough O2 • The products are different than with complete combustion. CxHy + O2 C + CO + CO2 + H2O
