Types of Reactions We can abbreviate Reaction to Rxn
Reactants and Products • Reactants are the chemicals that react – they are on the left side of the equation • Products are the chemicals that are produced – they are on the right side of the equation Reactant + Reactant => Product + Product
There are 5 types of Rxn • • • 1. Combination Reaction 2. Decomposition Reaction 3. Single Replacement Reaction 4. Double Replacement Reaction 5. Combustion Reaction
Combination Reaction A + B => AB • Two or more substances react and combine to form a single substance • Also called a Synthesis Reaction 2 H 2 + O 2 => 2 H 2 O
Decomposition Reaction AB => A + B • A single compound reacts to form two or more simpler products. 2 NI 3 => N 2 + 3 I 2
Boom!!!!
Single Replacement Reaction A + BC => AC + B • Atoms of an element replace the atoms of a second element in a compound Zn + H 2 SO 4 => H 2 + Zn. SO 4
• The higher it is the more reactive. • Metals from Li to Na will replace H from acids and water. • Metals from Mg to Pb will replace H from acids only.
Double Replacement Reaction AB + CD => AD + CB • Positive ions are exchanged between two compounds. Na. OH + HCl => Na. Cl + H 2 O
Calcium carbonate (marble) and Sulfurous Acid (acid rain)
Combustion Reaction Cx. Hy + O 2 => CO 2 + H 2 O • Oxygen reacts with another substance – producing energy (heat and light) – and usually carbon dioxide and water. CH 4 + O 2 => CO 2 + H 2 O 2 CH 3 OH + 3 O 2 => 2 CO 2 + 4 H 2 O
Putting out a Fire (Combustion) • If you need a Fuel and Oxygen to have combustion – how many ways are there to stop combustion. • 1. “Stop” the Fuel • 2. “Stop” the Oxygen • 3. Reduce the energy so it cannot support the initiating energy. (ignition point) – Read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
