1. Classifying Chemical Reactions (Section 8-3) Following this section you should be able to: 1.Identify a reaction type from a chemical equation. 2.Predict the products of a chemical reaction when given the reactants. 3.Use the Activity Series to determine whether or not a displacement reaction will occur as written. 4.Use Solubility Rules to identify the solid precipitate produced in a precipitation type double-displacement reaction.
