Types of Reactions You need to be able to identify each type. Synthesis reactions Decomposition reactions Single displacement reactions Double displacement reactions Combustion reactions You need to be able to identify each type.
1. Synthesis Example C + O2 O C + O C General: A + B AB
Combination (Synthesis) Two or more elements or simple compounds combine to form (synthesize) one product A + B AB 2Mg + O2 2MgO 2Na + Cl2 2NaCl SO3 + H2O H2SO4 LecturePLUS Timberlake 99

Went from neutral (0) to (+2) Went from (+2) to Neutral (0) 3. Single Displacement Example: Zn + CuCl2 Zn was oxidized Went from neutral (0) to (+2) Zn Cl Cu + Cl Zn Cu + Cu was reduced Went from (+2) to Neutral (0) General: AB + C AC + B
LecturePLUS Timberlake 99 Single Replacement One element takes the place of an element in a reacting compound. A + BC AB + C Zn + 2HCl ZnCl2 + H2 Fe + CuSO4 FeSO4 + Cu LecturePLUS Timberlake 99
Ex. Single Replacement Reaction
Single Replacement Reactions Write and balance the following single replacement reaction equation: Zn(s) + HCl(aq) ZnCl2 + H2(g) 2 NaCl(s) + F2(g) NaF(s) + Cl2(g) Al(s)+ Cu(NO3)2(aq) 2 2 2 3 3 Cu(s)+ Al(NO3)3(aq) 2
4. Double displacement General: AB + CD AD + CB Example: MgO + CaS
LecturePLUS Timberlake 99 Double Replacement Two elements in reactants take the place of each other AB + CD AD + CB AgNO3 + NaCl AgCl + NaNO3 ZnS + 2HCl ZnCl2 + H2S LecturePLUS Timberlake 99
Double Replacement Reactions Think about it like “foil”ing in algebra, first and last ions go together + inside ions go together Example: AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(s) AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) Another example: K2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) KNO3(aq) + BaSO4(s) 2

LecturePLUS Timberlake 99 Solution R2 Classify the following reactions as 1) single replacement 2) double replacement 1_A. 2Al + 3H2SO4 Al2(SO4)3 + 3H2 2_B. Na2SO4 + 2AgNO3 Ag2SO4 + 2NaNO3 1_C. 3C + Fe2O3 2Fe + 3CO LecturePLUS Timberlake 99
Practice Predict the products. HCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) CaCl2(aq) + Na3PO4(aq) Pb(NO3)2(aq) + BaCl2(aq) FeCl3(aq) + NaOH(aq) H2SO4(aq) + NaOH(aq) KOH(aq) + CuSO4(aq)
5. Combustion Reactions Combustion reactions - a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas. This is also called burning!!! In order to burn something you need the 3 things in the “fire triangle”: 1) Fuel (hydrocarbon) 2) Oxygen 3) Something to ignite the reaction (spark)
Combustion Reactions In general: CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O Products are ALWAYS carbon dioxide and water. (although incomplete burning does cause some by-products like carbon monoxide) Combustion is used to heat homes and run automobiles (octane, as in gasoline, is C8H18)
LecturePLUS Timberlake 99 Combustion A reaction in which a compound (often carbon) reacts with oxygen C + O2 CO2 CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O C3H8 + 5O2 3CO2 + 4H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O LecturePLUS Timberlake 99
Combustion Example C5H12 + O2 CO2 + H2O Write the products and balance the following combustion reaction: C10H22 + O2 8 5 6
