Chemical reactions are grouped according to patterns in the chemical formulas.
Two reactants combine to make a larger or more complex product.
An example of a synthesis reaction is: 4 Al(s) + 3 O 2 (g) 2 Al 2 O 3 (s)
Large compounds are broken down into smaller compounds or elements.
One element displaces another element in a compound, producing a new compound and a new element. A + BC → AC + B
In reactions with ionic compounds and metals, the positive ion (cation) is replaced. Copper + silver nitrate → copper (II) nitrate + silver Cu(s) + 2 AgNO 3 (aq) → Cu(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) + 2 Ag
Metals rarely occur naturally as pure elements → ….single displacements often purify metals in order to use them.
Two elements in different compounds trade places. Two solutions that undergo a double displacement reaction produce an insoluble compound called a precipitate.
AB + CD → AD + BC
An example of a double displacement reaction is Pb(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) + 2 KI(aq) PbI 2 (s) + 2 KNO 3 (aq) Word Equation?
Pb(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) + 2 KI(aq) PbI 2 (s) + 2 KNO 3 (aq) Lead (II) nitrate + potassium iodide Lead (II) Iodide + Potassium nitrate
Pb(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) + 2 KI(aq) PbI 2 (s) + 2 KNO 3 (aq) Precipitate?
Pb(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) + 2 KI(aq) PbI 2 (s) + 2 KNO 3 (aq) Precipitate ◦ lead (II) iodide, PbI 2 ◦ appears as a bright yellow insoluble solid.

A chemical reaction in which the fuel reacts with oxygen Commonly known as burning Usually results in an oxide and energy (the flame) Oxygen is known as an oxidizer
If there is enough oxygen, all materials are burned completely Hydrocarbon + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy C x H y (g) + O 2 (g)-> CO 2 (g) + H 2 O (g) + energy
If there is NOT enough oxygen, all materials are NOT burned completely Hydrocarbon + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + carbon monoxide + carbon + energy C x H y (g) + O 2 (g)-> CO 2 (g) + H 2 O (g) + CO(g) + C (s) + energy Creates carbon monoxide and soot
Odourless, colourless gas Highly toxic ◦ Carbon dioxide poisoning symptoms are nausea, headache, dizziness and respiratory problems Maintain your furnace regularly and don’t leave your car running in your garage
Particles of Carbon
Element + Oxygen -> Element Oxide + Energy Hydrogen ◦ 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) -> 2H 2 O(g) + energy Magnesium ◦ 2Mg(s) + O 2 -> 2MgO + energy
If Hydrogen is exposed to a flame it reacts and produces energy in the form of a “POP” Produces water
In Oxygen, a flame is encouraged If a glowing splint enters a test tube of oxygen, it relights
Carbon dioxide smothers a flame If a flaming splint is exposed to carbon dioxide, the flame extinguishes
