Chemical Equations + Types of reactions. Chemical Equations. When we look at a chemical equations there are two main parts. H 2 + O 2 H 2 O The reactants , which are located to the left of the arrow. These are the chemicals that are reacting.

Chemical Equations • When we look at a chemical equations there are two main parts. H2 + O2 H2O • The reactants, which are located to the left of the arrow. These are the chemicals that are reacting. • The products, which are located to the right of the arrow. These are the new chemicals made after the reaction.
Chemical Equations • Can be written in two ways: • 1.Chemical equation: only has the formulas for elements + compounds involved e.g. H2 + O2 H2O • 2. Word equation: only has the names for elements + compounds involved e.g. Hydrogen Gas + Oxygen Gas Dihydrogen Monoxide
Types of Chemical Reactions • There are four types of reactions. • They are synthesis, decomposition, single and double displacement. • Each one has a different way that reactants combine or break apart to make new products. • Let’s look at each one in more detail!.
Synthesis or Combination • In this reaction, two or more products come together to form one new product compound. • E.G. • Visually it would look like this: • Notice how the rectangle and square came together. +
Decomposition • One large compound breaks apart into two or more smaller products. • E.G. • Visually it would look like this: • Notice how the rectangle/square combination broke apart. +
Single Displacement • In this reaction a lone element exchanges place with another one in a compound on the reactant side to make a new lone element and compound for products. • E.G. • Visually it would look like this: • Notice how the octagon and rectangle traded places. + +
+ + Double Displacement • In this reaction two reactant compounds exchange parts to make two new product compounds. • E.G. • Visually it would look like this: • Notice how the octagon and rectangle traded places.
Let’s Try a Few Examples • Look at these chemical equation and determine the type of reaction that has occurred: • You must first look at the chemical equation. • Know the products from reactants (separated by the arrow). • Compare the equation to the four types and determine the type of reaction. AB + CD AD + CB D.D. A + BC AC + B S.D A + B AB Synthesis ABC AB + C Decomp.
Now the “Real Deal” • 1) NaOH + KNO3 --> NaNO3 + KOH • 2) 2 Fe + 6 NaBr --> 2 FeBr3 + 6 Na • 3) CaSO4 + Mg(OH)2 --> Ca(OH)2 + MgSO4 • 4) Pb + O2 --> PbO2 • 5) Na2CO3 --> Na2O + CO2 • 1) double displacement 2) single displacement 3) double displacement 4) synthesis 5) decomposition
