Types of Reactions You need to be able to identify each type. Synthesis reactions Decomposition reactions Single displacement reactions Double displacement reactions You need to be able to identify each type.
1. Synthesis Example C + O2 O C + → O C General: A + B → AB
Ex. Synthesis Reaction
Synthesis = join together Predict the products. Na(s) + Cl2(g) → Mg(s) + F2(g) → Al(s) + F2(g) → 2 2 NaCl(s) MgF2(s) 2 3 2 AlF3(s) Synthesis = join together
2. Decomposition Example: NaCl → Cl Na Cl + Na General: AB → A + B
Ex. Decomposition Reaction
Decomposition = split apart Predict the products. HgO → 2KClO3 → 2 Hg2 + O2 2KCl + 3O2 Decomposition = split apart
3. Single Displacement General: AB + C → AC + B Example: Zn + CuCl2 →
Ex. Single Replacement Reaction
Single Replacement Reactions Predict the products. Cl2 + 2NaBr → 2NaCl + Br2 C A B A C B 2HgO + Cl2 → 2HgCl + O2
4. Double Replacement General: AB + CD → AD + CB Example: MgO + CaS →
Double Replacement Reactions Predict the products. CuCl2 + H2S → CuS + 2HCl BaCl2 + Na2SO4 → 2NaCl + BaSO4
Synthesis Decomposition Single Replacement Double Replacement join together A + B → AB split apart AB → A + B Single Replacement Double Replacement trade 1 place AB + C → AC + B trade 2 places AB + CD → AC + BD
