Anatomy of a Chemical Equation Flour Eggs Milk + Pancakes  Plus (reacts with) Produces (s)(l)(s) State of matter (l) = liquid (s) = solid (g) = gas (aq) = aqueous (dissolved in water)

Rust  Iron reacts with oxygen in air to make iron oxide (FeO) Fe (s) + O 2(g)  FeO (s)

Hydrolysis  Water is zapped with electricity to make hydrogen and oxygen gases H 2 O (l)  O 2(g) + H 2(g) electricity

Reaction Types There are 5 main types of reactions: –Combination/Synthesis –Decomposition –Single replacement –Double replacement –Combustion

Combination

iron + chlorine  iron (II) chloride Fe (s) + Cl 2(g)  FeCl 2(aq)

Decomposition

sodium chloride  sodium + chlorine NaCl (s)  Na (s) + Cl 2(g)

Single replacement

sodium chloride + lithium  sodium + lithium chloride NaCl (aq) + Li (s)  Na (s) + LiCl (aq)

Double Replacement

Double replacement sodium chloride + lithium fluoride  sodium fluoride + lithium chloride NaCl (aq) + LiF (aq)  NaF (aq) + LiCl (aq)

Combustion any hydrocarbon + oxygen  carbon dioxide + water C 2 H 4(g) + 3O 2(g)  2CO 2(g) + 2H 2 O (g) heat

What type is this? Combination
