Types of Chemical Rxns Composition Combination Rxns Two

Types of Chemical Rxns

Composition (Combination) Rxns Two or more substances react to form a single, more complex substance. Examples: 2 Hg + O 2 2 Hg. O Sn + O 2 Sn. O 2 Movie of Potassium + Bromine

Decomposition Reactions A Complex Substance is Broken Down (usually by heating) into 2 or more smaller substances Examples 2 KCl. O 3 + heat Mn. O 2 2 KCl + 3 O 2 ªH Ba. Cl 2 2 H 2 O Ba. Cl 2 + 2 H 2 O Movie of Nitrogen Tri. Iodide

Single Replacement Rxns A single element takes the place of another element in a compound Examples: Zn + 2 HCl Cu + 2 Ag. NO 3 H 2 + Zn. Cl 2 2 Ag + Cu(NO 3)2 Movie of Thermite Reaction

Double Replacement Rxn The ions in two aqueous compounds Aswap partners@ Examples: Ag. Cl(9) + Na. NO 3(aq) Ag. NO 3(aq) + Na. Cl(aq) Calcium chloride + Potassium Nitrate See formula Potassium chloride + Calcium nitrate Movie of sodium iodide + lead(II) nitrate

Ca. Cl 2(aq) + 2 KNO 3(aq) 2 KCl(aq) + Back Ca(NO 3)2(s)

Combustion Rxns A hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide Balancing Tip: Do carbon 1 st, then hydrogen, then oxygenused Usually Examples: CH 4 + 2 O 2 C 2 H 5 OH + 3 O 2 for the large amount of heat given off! 2 H 2 O + CO 2 + heat 3 H 2 O + 2 CO 2 + heat

Combustion Rxns Most reactions that we think of as ‘burning’ a fuel are combustion reactions Examples: • Burning a log of Wood to heat your s’mores • Burning Coal to heat water to create electricity at a power plant • Grilling with Propane to heat your hot dog Hydrocarbon • Burning Gasoline in your car to heat the air and push pistons • Burning Oil Hydrocarbon in your furnace to heat your house Hydrocarbon

Combustion Rxns Some downsides to combustion reactions: ► Fossil Fuels are non-renewable resources § We are using them much faster than they are being produced § Eventually, we will run out of fossil fuels

Combustion Rxns Some downsides to combustion reactions: • CO 2 is a greenhouse gas and increasing CO 2 levels contributes to global warming (others are methane, water vapor, ozone, nitrous oxide)

Combustion Rxns Some downsides to combustion reactions: ► Combustion will be “incomplete” when not enough oxygen is present § Incomplete combustion results in CO, Carbon (soot), and nitrous oxides ►CO is poisonous ►Nitrous oxides are bad for the environment (acid rain, smog)

Combustion Rxns What can be done? ► Incomplete combustion can be improved by better designed burners / engines ► Catalytic converters in vehicle reduce CO ► “Scrubbers” placed in industrial exhaust systems can reduce nitrous oxides and CO None of these “fixes” cuts down or removes CO 2 emissions
