1. Types of Chemical Reactions

2. There are five types of chemical reactions:
Classifying Chemical Reactions
There are five types of chemical reactions:
synthesis, combustion, decomposition, and single replacement and double replacement reactions.

3. Don’t forget you have this table in your notes as reference

4. Type of Reaction: Synthesis reaction Explanation:
Types of Chemical Reactions
Type of Reaction:
Synthesis reaction
Explanation:
Reaction in which two or more elements react to produce a single product (compound).
Demo (write observations under Explanation)

5. Types of Chemical Reactions (cont.)
Other: When two elements react, the reaction is always a synthesis reaction.
General Equation:
A + B AB
Write general equation in your notes

6. Type of Reaction: Combustion Reaction Explanation:
Types of Chemical Reactions
Type of Reaction:
Combustion Reaction
Explanation:
Reaction where oxygen combines with a substance (normally contains carbon) and releases energy in the form of heat and light.

7. Types of Chemical Reactions (cont.)
General Equation:
___ + O2 H2O + CO2
CH4 (g) + O2 (g)  CO2 (g) + H2O (g)

8. Decomposition Reaction Explanation:
Types of Chemical Reactions
Type of Reaction:
Decomposition Reaction
Explanation:
Reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds.
Start here with 5th

9. Decomposition Reactions
Other: Decomposition reactions often require an energy source, such as heat, light, or electricity, to occur.
General Equation:
AB A + B

10. S = synthesis D = decomposition C = combustion
Correctly identify the following reactions:
NH3+ H2SO4  (NH4)2SO4
C5H9O + O2  CO2 + H2O
H2 + O2  H2O
NH4OH  NH3 + H2O
KClO3 (s)  KCl (s) + O2 (g)
Al (s) + S (s)  Al2S3 (s)
NaNO3 (s)  NaNO2 (s) + O2 (g)
CO (g) + O2 (g)  CO2 (g)
CH4 (g) + O2 (g)  CO2 (g) + H2O (g)
Mg + N2  Mg3N2
S = synthesis
D = decomposition
C = combustion
Put in notes #1-10 and write the letter next to the number for your answer.

11. Type of Reaction: Single Replacement Explanation:
Types of Chemical Reactions
Type of Reaction:
Single Replacement
Explanation:
Reaction in which the atoms of one element replace the atoms of another element in a compound.
Demo (write observations under Explanation)

12. Replacement Reactions
General Equation:
A + BX AX + B
Other Info: A metal will not always replace a metal in a compound dissolved in water because of differing reactivates.
Hydrogen gas goes here
Do not need to memorize table or even copy table down, just need to see how it works.
An activity series can be used to predict if reactions will occur.

13. Reaction in which the elements exchange between two compounds.
Types of Chemical Reactions
Type of Reaction:
Double Replacement
Explanation:
Reaction in which the elements exchange between two compounds.

14. Replacement Reactions (cont.)
General Equation:

15. Precipitate: The solid product produced during a chemical reaction.
Replacement Reactions (cont.)
Precipitate: The solid product produced during a chemical reaction.
All double replacement reactions produce either water, a precipitate, or a gas.
