Lesson Essential Question

What are the five general types of chemical reactions?

Five Basic Reaction Types

Combination or Synthesis

Two or more substances combine to form a new compound.

A + X AX

Iron Wool added to Sulfur with heat yields Iron (II) Sulfide. Fe(s) + S(s) FeS(s)

Iron + Sulfur

Examples of Synthesis Reactions 1. Reactions of metals with

oxygen.Magnesium(s) + Oxygen(g)2 Mg(s) + O2(g) 2 MgO(S)

Magnesium Oxide 2. Reactions of metals with halogens.Aluminum(s) + Bromine(l) 2 Al(s) + 3 Br2(l) 2 AlBr3(S)

Aluminum Bromide 3. Reactions of metals with sulfur.Silver(s) + Sulfur(s) Ag(s) + S(s) Ag2S(S)

Silver Sulfide

Decomposition

A single compound undergoes a reaction a produces two or more substances.

A X A + X

Potassium Chlorate is decomposed by heating forming potassium chloride and oxygen gas.

Examples of Decomposition Reactions

1. Decomposition of Binary Compounds.

2. Decomposition of Metal Carbonates.

3. Decomposition of Metal Hydroxides (Bases)

2 MgO(s) 2 Mg(s) + O2(g)

Magnesium + OxygenMagnesium Oxide(s)

Aluminum Carbonate(s)Al2(CO3)3(S) Al2O3(s) + 3 CO2(g)

Aluminum Oxide + Carbon Dioxide

Magnesium Hydroxide(s) Mg(OH)2(s) MgO(S) + H2O(g)

Magnesium Oxide(s)

+Water Vapor(g)

Decomposes into two separate elements.

Decomposes into metal oxide and CO2(g)

Decomposes into metal oxide (basic anhydride) and H2O

Examples of Decomposition Reactions

4. Decomposition of Metal Chlorates.

5. Decomposition of Ternary Acids.

Sodium Chlorate(s)

Sulfuric Acid(l)

2 NaClO3(s) 2 NaCl(s) + 3 O2(g)

sodium chloride + OxygenH2SO4(l) SO3(g) + H2O(l)

Sulfur Trioxide + Water

Decomposes to produce metal chloride and oxygen gas.

Decomposes to produce Nonmetal Oxide (Acidic Anhydride) and water.Since the nonmetals in the ternary acid usually have multiple charges you must work backwards to find its charge.

H2SO4

4(-2)-82(+1)+2+ X

+= +6

Use this charge to form the acidic anhydride (nonmetal oxide) formula.

SO+6 -2SO3

3(-2)

Lets try some examples…

Part II of Reactions

Single Replacement or Single Displacement

One element displaces another element when higher on the activity chart. A + BX B + AX

1. Metals can displace other metals provided that they are above the metal they are trying to displace.

2. Metals above hydrogen can displace hydrogen from an acid.

3. Metals from sodium upward can replace hydrogen from water.

Activity SeriesFluorineChlorineBromineIodine

1. Halogens can replace other halogens provided they are higher than the halogen they are trying to replace.

2 NaCl(s) + F2(g) 2 NaF(s) + Cl2(g)

NaF(s) + Cl2(g) No Reaction

Double Replacement or Double Displacement

The ions of two compounds switch places in an aqueous solution to form two new compounds. AY + BX BY + AX
