Types of Chemical Reactions Synthesis, Combustion, Decomposition and Replacement
You can think of atoms as people getting together as couples...
Let’s look at the reactions in more detail Synthesis Decomposition Single-Replacement Double-Replacement Combustion
Combustion What are some types of combustion you are familiar with? Every cell in your body is carrying out combustion
Combustion • Oxygen combines with a metal, non-metal, or compound • Creates a metal oxide, non-metal oxide, or 2 or more oxides • Releases energy – heat, light • Can be a slower process too…
Synthesis • 2 or more reactants combine to make a product
Decomposition • A compound breaks down into two or more substances
Single Replacement • A metal replaces a hydrogen • A metal replaces another metal • We use an activity series to predict which metals are “stronger” and can knock out other metals from compounds
Activity Series The most active metals are at the top. These will replace metals below them. The halogens are also listed in order of most active at the top to least active at the bottom. More active elements replace less active elements in single replacement reactions
Single Replacement Examples • 2 AgNO3 + Cu Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag • Fe + Cu(NO3)2 Fe(NO3)2 + Cu • Zn + 2HCL ZnCl2 + H2
Double Replacement Reactions • Produces a precipitate, liquid or gas • All four of the ions switch partners • Aqueous solution
Double Replacement Examples • AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq) • CaCO3(aq) + 2 HCl(aq) CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) • HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) HOH(l) + NaCl(aq)
How to identify a reaction Be systematic – it will help you identify the reaction type and the products!
How to identify a reaction Example: Solid calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas react to produce solid calcium carbonate
Summary The main types of reactions Replacement Reactions: 2 types Single replacement – a stronger cation steps in and replaces a weaker anion Double replacement – 2 cations switch places, forming a precipitate, a liquid, or a gas • Combustion – reaction with oxygen • Synthesis – two compounds or elements getting together • Decomposition – One compound splitting up • Replacement – Another ion moves in
You try it! • Work on these examples together in pairs. • Write the reaction • Balance the equation • Classify the reaction • Be prepared to present your results on the board! • Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid form Magnesium Chloride and Hydrogen • Carbon Dioxide and Water form Carbonic Acid (H2CO3) • Silver Nitrate and Sodium Chloride form Silver Chloride and Sodium Nitrate • Heating sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) releases water and carbon dioxide and sodium carbonate
You try it! • Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid form Magnesium Chloride and Hydrogen: • Mg + HCl MgCl + H2 (skeleton equation) • 2Mg + 2HCl 2MgCl + H2 (balanced equation) • Single replacement (reaction type) • Carbon Dioxide and Water form Carbonic Acid (H2CO3): • CO2 + H2O H2CO3 (skeleton equation) • CO2 + H2O H2CO3 (it’s already balanced!) • Synthesis (reaction type)
You try it! • Silver Nitrate and Sodium Chloride form Silver Chloride and Sodium Nitrate • AgNO3 + NaCl AgCl + NaNO3 (skeleton equation) • AgNO3 + NaCl AgCl + NaNO3 (already balanced) • Double replacement (reaction type) • Heating sodium bicarbonate releases water and carbon dioxide and sodium carbonate • NaHCO3 Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 (skeleton equation) • 2NaHCO3 Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 (balanced equation) • Decomposition (reaction type)
