Types of Chemical Reactions let’s classify...
2
Why Classify Chemical Reactions? “I wonder what will happen if I light a match in a room full of gasoline vapour?” What type of reaction do you think will occur? Combustion—exothermic and rapid! How do you know this?
3
Five Types of Chemical Reactions 1.Synthesis 2.Decomposition 3.Combustion 4.Single Displacement 5.Double Displacement let’s look more closely at each type...
4
Synthesis Reactions Occur when two or more elements or compounds combine to form a new substance. These reactions come in the general form of: A + B AB eg. 8 Fe + S 8 8 FeS
5
Predict the products... Na(s) + Cl 2 (g) NaCl(s) Al(s) + Br 2 (l) AlBr 3 (s) Fe(s) + Cl 2 (g) FeCl 3 (s)
6
Mg(s) + O 2 (g) MgO(s) Sb(s) + Cl 2 (g) SbCl 3 (s)
7
P 4 (s) + O 2 (g) P 4 O 10 (s) P 4 O 10 (s) + HOH(l) H 3 PO 4 (aq) CaO + HOH(l) Ca(OH) 2 (aq)
8
Reactions of Oxides with Water a) Metal oxide + HOH basic solution eg. Na 2 O(s) + HOH(l) NaOH(aq) b) Non-metallic oxide + HOH acidic solution eg. SO 3 (g) + HOH(l) H 2 SO 4 (aq)
9
Write the product(s) of each of the following synthesis reactions Zn(s) + S 8 (s) ZnS(s) Zn(s) + O 2 (g) ZnO(s) S 8 (s) + O 2 (g) SO 2 (g)
10
Synthesis reactions and Acid Precipitation CO 2 (g) + H 2 O(l) H 2 CO 3 (aq) S 8 (s) + O 2 (g) (unbalanced) SO 2 (g) SO 2 (g) + O 2 (unbalanced) SO 3 (g) SO 3 (g) + H 2 O(l) (unbalanced) H 2 SO 4 (aq)
11
Decomposition Reactions A compound decomposes—or breaks down into its elements or into other compounds. C A + B A decomp. reaction is the opposite of a synthesis reaction.
12
Types of Decomposition Rxns binary cmpd its elements metal nitrate metal nitrite + O 2 metal carbonate metal oxide + CO 2 metal hydroxide metal oxide + H 2 O
13
Examples NaCl(s) Na(s) + Cl 2 (g) KNO 3 (s) KNO 2 (s) + O 2 Na 2 CO 3 Na 2 O + CO 2 NaOH Na 2 O + H 2 O
14
Examples of decomposition reactions 2 HOH(l) 2 H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) NH 4 NO 3 (s) N 2 O(g) + 2 HOH(g) H 2 O 2 (aq) (with MnO 2 (s) catalyst) HOH(l) + O 2 (g)
15
What’s a catalyst? A catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction... but is not used up in the reaction. A catalyst is present at the beginning and at the end of a chemical reaction. eg. catalytic converter in an automobile’s exhaust system
16
More examples of decomp rxns (with video clips) KClO 3 (s) + heat KCl(s) + O 2 (g) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xu2YZzufTM (NH 4 ) 2 Cr 2 O 7 (s) + heat Cr 2 O 3 (s) + N 2 (g) + HOH(g) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mJbcMOa0GA
17
Are the products of a decomposition reaction stable or unstable compounds? What product(s) have you noticed so far? N 2, HOH, KCl, etc These are all stable compounds.
18
Q: What is Beethoven doing in his grave? A: Decomposing
19
Combustion Reactions Used for cooking, heat, transportation and more. Complete combustion of a C & H (& O) containing fuel in the presence of sufficient O 2 yields CO 2 and HOH Incomplete combustion yields C(s) + CO(g) + CO 2 (g) + H 2 O(g)
20
examples of combustion of C&H(&O) - containing fuels CH 3 CH 2 OH(l) + O 2 (g) (sufficient O 2 ) CO 2 (g) + HOH(g) C 8 H 18 (l) + O 2 (g) incomplete combustion C(s) + CO(g) + CO 2 (g) + HOH(g) (Incomplete combustion—not enough O 2 present) Is it possible to balance this equation?
21
Here’s an example of just how combustible methane is:
22
Here’s what happened when we put a balloon full of H 2 and O 2 on top of a sheet of Al foil in a microwave oven. rxn is: 2 H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 2 H 2 O(g) + energy
23
Can also have combustion of elements other than carbon eg. Mg(s) + O 2 (g) MgO(s) H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) HOH(g) How else could we classify these reactions? synthesis
