Types of Reactions Chemistry Chapter 8
There are two main types of reactions • Double replacement reactions (sometimes called Double displacement) • Oxidation-Reduction reactions
Double Replacement • Double Replacement reactions begin with 2 compounds and result in 2 different compounds. • The cations of the reactants switch places and pair with the anion of the other reactant. • AB + CD CB + AD • Na2SO4(aq)+ ZnCl2(aq) ZnSO4(aq) + NaCl(aq)
Double Replacement • There are two types of double replacement reactions • 1. Precipitation reactions • 2. Acid-Base reactions
Precipitation reactions • Precipitation reactions result in a solid (remember, this is one of the driving forces of chemical reactions). • BaCl2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) BaSO4 (s) + 2NaCl (aq)
Acid-Base Reactions • Acids begin with HHCl, H2SO4 • Bases end with OH NaOH, Ca(OH)2 • Acid-Base reactions produce a salt and water (another driving force). • A salt is any ionic compound. • HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)
Oxidation-Reduction • Oxidation-Reduction involves the transferring of electrons (yet another driving force!) • Oxidizers gain electrons • Reducers lose electrons • There are 4 types of Oxidation-Reduction reactions. • 1. Synthesis • 2. Decomposition • 3. Single Replacement • 4. Combustion
Synthesis and Decomposition • Synthesis involves 2 or more reactants forms one product. • A + B AB • Decomposition involves one reactant breaking down (decomposing) into 2 or more products. • AB A + B
Single Replacement • Single replacement involves the replacing of one element with another in a compound. • The reactants include a single element and a compound and the products include a single element and a compound. • A + BC AC + B
Single Replacement • Hydrogen can be replaced by a metal. • 2Ag + 2HCl H2 + 2AgCl • More reactive metals replace less reactive metals. • 2Al + 3FeO Al2O3 + 3Fe • More reactive halogens replace less reactive halogens. • 2NaCl + F2 2NaF + Cl2
Combustion • Combustion involves a carbon-containing compound burning in the presence of oxygen forming carbon dioxide and water. • 2C2H6 +7O2 4CO2+ 6H2O carbon oxygen carbon water compound dioxide
