Types of Chemical Reactions September 28 2011
Chemical Equations Reactants Products We can describe chemical reactions with word equations e.g. iron + oxygen iron oxide (rust) We can describe chemical reactions with chemical equations e.g. Fe + O2 Fe2O3
Chemical Equations • We can add extra information to the equation special symbols
Catalyst A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of reaction but is not used up in the reaction. e.g. H2O2(l) H2O (l) + O2(g) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xkv1v7pee7E&feature=related
Classifying Reactions Classifying Reactions Five main types of reactions: • Synthesis or Combination • Decomposition • Combustion • Single-Replacement • Double-Replacement Some reactions fit in more than one category; scientists classify reactions to predict patterns of behavior
Synthesis Reactions • Two or more substances combine to form a new compound e.g. K(s) + Cl2(g) KCl (s) Be (s) + O2(g) BeO (s) Cu(s) + S(s) CuS (s) Cu(s) + S(s) Cu2S (s) Copper (II) Sulfide CuS Copper (I) Sulfide Cu2S
Decomposition Reactions • A single compound is broken down into two or more products e.g. H2O (l) H2 (g) + O2 (g) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTEX38bQ-2w
Combustion Reactions • An element or a compound reacts with oxygen • Often produces energy in the form of heat or light e.g. CH4(g) + O2(g) CO2 (g) + H2O(g) + energy Mg(s) + O2(g) MgO (s) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmrCdjVTb0I&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXcug7RqPgs
Single-Replacement Reactions • One element replaces a second element in a compound e.g. K(s) + H2O(l) KOH (aq) + H2(g) Mg(s) + Zn(NO3)2 (aq) Mg(NO3)2(aq) + Zn(s) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFG4Yr7lQzw
Double Replacement Reactions • An exchange on positive ions between reacting compounds e.g. Na2S(aq) + Cd(NO3)2 (aq) CdS(s) + NaNO3 (aq) K2CO3 (aq) + BaCl2 (aq) KCl(aq) + Ba(CO3)2 (s)
