Types of Chemical Reactions –Part I Mrs. Coyle Chemistry
Types of Chemical Reactions • Composition • Decomposition • Single Replacement (Displacement) • Double Replacement (Displacement) • Combustion • Oxidation-Reduction
Composition(Combination, Synthesis) • Two or more substances combine to form a single substance. • General equation: A + B AB example: 2Na + Cl2 2NaCl http://jchemed.chem.wisc.edu/jcesoft/cca/cca0/Movies/NACL1.html
Decomposition • A compound is broken into two or more products. • General equation: AB A + B example: 2H2O 2H2 + O2
Single Replacement A + BC AC +B
Activity Series • For an element to replace another the lone element must be more active than the element it is replacing in the substance. • See the reference chart behind your periodic table.
Example: 2NaBr (aq) + Cl2 (g) 2NaCl (aq) + Br2 (g)
Examples: Ca + Al(NO3)3 K + Na2SO4
Double Replacement(Double Displacement) AB + CD AD + CB
Double Replacement Reactions • Occur in aqueous solutions • For a DR reaction to occur one of the following must happen: • A precipitate is formed (an insoluble or slightly soluble solid). • A molecular compound (usually water is formed). • A gas is formed.
Example: Production of a PrecipitateSilver Nitrate + Sodium Chloride • Precipitate AgCl (s)
Solubility Rules • See the reference chart behind your periodic table.
Example: Production of H2O H2SO4(aq)+2NaOH(aq)2H2O(l) +Na2 SO4(aq)
3 Ways to Write Equations Involving Reactions in Solutions • Formula Equation ex: Zn(s) +2HCl(aq) ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) • Complete Ionic Equation Zn(s) +2H+(aq)+2Cl-(aq) Zn+2(aq)+ 2Cl -(aq) + H2(g) • Net Ionic Equation Zn(s) +2H+(aq) Zn+2(aq)+H2(g)
Note: • Spectator ions are ions that do not undergo chemical change during the reaction. • In a net ionic equation the charge and the atoms must balance.
