Classifying Chemical Reactions
Is useful in predicting products
FIVE BASIC WAYS TO CLASSIFY CHEMICAL REACTIONS:
1. Synthesis2. Decomposition3. Single-Replacement4. Double-Replacement5. Combustion
Synthesis Reactions:Generic Reaction
X + Y-->XY Definition-Two
reactants combine to make one compound.
Note: X and Y can be compounds or elements.
2 Reactants and 1 Product
Analogy- Like a marriage
Predicting products using synthesis reactions1. Li + S→
2. Na + Cl₂→
3. Br₂ + K →
Decomposition Reactions:The generic formula of
a decomposition reaction is:
XY --> X + Y
In a decomposition reaction, a
compound is broken down into two (or
more) simpler substances.
1 Reactant and
2+ Products
Analogy-Like divorce
Predicting products using Decomposition ReactionsUse of Reference Tables (don’t guess)
ZnS
CaCO₃
Mg(OH)₂
H₂SO₄
Single Replacement ReactionsDiscovery Education Video
Single Replacement Reactions:
A + XY --> AY + X
In this type of reaction, one ( more active) element replaces a similar element in a compound.
Metal replaces metalNon-metal replaces
non-metal
1 free element + compound compound + 1 free element
Aggressive metal wins
Like finding a new girl or boy friend
Li Rb K Ca Na Mg Al Mn Zn Fe Ni Sn Pb
Cu Ag Pt
Au
Activity Series of Metals
Most active metal wins out
Activity Series of HalogensF₂ Most active halogen winsCl₂Br₂I₂
Examples of Single Replacement Reactions:
2Al + 3Fe(NO3)2 3Fe + 2Al(NO3)3
Zn + CuCl2
Mg + Pb(NO3)2
Fe + Na3PO4
K + ZnCl2
Double-Replacement Reactions:AB + XY --> AY +
XB
In a double-replacement
reaction, the two compounds
exchange places in a solution to form two
new compounds.
Note: Always ionic compounds or acids as the reactants
2 compounds 2 compounds
Like switching partners in square dancing
Predicting products based onDouble Replacement Reactions Na₂(CO₃)+ CuCl₂→
BaCl₂+ Na₂SO₄→
(NH₄)₂S+ Zn(C₂H₃O₂)₂→
Ca(OH)₂+ HCl→
Combustion reaction Fuel reacts with oxygen
to produce heat + carbon dioxide and water.
CH₄ + O₂(g) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O(g) + heat
Exothermic reaction
Combustion Reactions:
When a substance combines with
oxygen releasing a large amount of
energy in the form of light and heat, it is a combustion reaction.
Note: Hydrocarbon fuel is composed of C, H & sometimes O
Oxygen is needed to Burn things.
Fuel* + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
Predicting products based on Combustion ReactionsHexane C₆H₁₄
Methanol CH₃OH
Glycerol C₃H₈O₃
FIVE BASIC WAYS TO CLASSIFY CHEMICAL REACTIONS:1. Synthesis 2 reactants1 product
(like marriage)
2. Decomposition 1 reactant 2 products(like divorce)
3. Single-Replacement(most aggressive element wins)
4. Double-Replacement (switch partners)
5. Combustion=Burning (need oxygen to burn things)
