Identifying equations 5 types
Always has multiple compounds on the left and a single compound on the right • A + B AB • Examples: • 2K + Cl2 2KCl • S + O2 SO2 Combination or synthesis reaction
Always has on compound on the left that breaks down into multiple things on the right • AB A + B • Examples: • CaCO3CaO + CO2 • 2HgO 2Hg + O2 Decomposition reaction
One element trades places with another element to form a new compound • One element is always “dumped” • A + BC B + AC • Single element + compound single element + compound • Examples: • Mg + Zn(NO3)2 Mg(NO3)2 + Zn • Mg + 2AgNO3 Mg(NO3)2 + 2Ag Single replacement reaction
Each compound “trades” an element • polyatomic ions can act like a single element • Compound + compound Compound + compound • AB + CD AD + BC • Examples: • Na2S + Cd(NO3)2CdS + 2NaNO3 • 2NaCN + H2SO4 Na2SO4 + 2HCN Double replacement reaction
Sometimes elements will not react, depending on where they are on the activity series • Mg + LiNO3 no reaction • Zn + HCl H2 + ZnCl2 • Cu + HCl no reaction • K + NaCl Na + KCl Increasing reactivity Lithium Li Potassium K Calcium Ca Sodium Na Magnesium Mg Aluminum Al Zinc Zn Iron Fe Lead Pb (Hydrogen) (H)* Copper Cu Mercury Hg Silver Ag Decreasing reactivity Activity series
Element or compound reacts with oxygen to release energy. • Hydrocarbon + oxygen carbon dioxide + water • Examples: • CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O • C8H18O3 + 11O2 8CO2 + 9H2O Combustion reaction
