U NIT OBJECTIVES There are millions of reactions. Can’t remember them all. Fall into several categories. Will learn 5 types. Will be able to predict the products. For some we will be able to predict whether they will happen at all. Will recognize them by the reactants
3
EXERCISE Balancing the following chemical equations: 1.iron(s) + copper(II) sulfate(aq) copper(s) + iron(II) sulfate(aq) 2.fluorine(g) + magnesium chloride(aq) chlorine(g) + magnesium fluoride(aq) 3.sodium(s) + water(l) sodium hydroxide(aq) + hydrogen(g) Do you see the patterns?
4
S INGLE - REPLACEMENT REACTIONS Atoms of one element replace the atoms of another element in a compound. General Equation: AB + C BC + A Animation: Reactants must be an element and an ionic compound Products will be a different element and compound.
5
S INGLE - REPLACEMENT REACTIONS Metal replaces metal ions (and hydrogen). Zn + HCl Think water (H 2 O) as HOH. Elemental metal replaces H and combine with hydroxide. Na + H 2 O
6
S INGLE - REPLACEMENT REACTIONS Demonstrations: + When two compounds are mixed together, NO guarantee a chemical reaction will occur! Some elements are more reactive than the others. More reactive ones replace the less reactive ones. REACTIVITY SERIES. There are two reactivity series, one for metals and the other for halogens.

S INGLE - REPLACEMENT REACTIONS METALS: Lithium(cont.) RubidumCopper PotassiumSilver CalciumPlatinum SodiumGold Magnesium Aluminum Manganese Zinc Iron Tin Lead HALOGENS: Fluorine Chlorine Bromine Iodine Decreasing Reactivity Single-replacement reaction only proceeds when the element is higher on the reactivity list than the ion.
8
S INGLE - REPLACEMENT REACTIONS Examples: Reactions involving metallic elements as reactants. Zinc is lower on the reactivity list than Ca ion. No reaction. CaCl 2 (aq) + Zn(s) x 3ZnCl 2 (aq) + 2Al(s) 3Zn(s) + 2AlCl 3 (aq) Aluminum is higher on the reactivity list than zinc. Single-replacement reaction proceeds.
9
S INGLE - REPLACEMENT REACTIONS Examples: Reactions involving halogen elements as reactants. Bromine is lower on the reactivity list than chlorine. No reaction. NaCl(aq) + Br 2 (l) x 2NaI(aq) + Br 2 (l) I 2 (s) + 2NaBr(aq) Bromine is higher on the reactivity list than iodide ion. Single-replacement reaction proceeds.
10
S INGLE - REPLACEMENT REACTIONS Exercises: Predict whether the following single-replacement reactions will take place. If yes, write down the balanced chemical equations. Cu(s) + AgNO 3 (aq) Fe(s) + ZnBr 2 (aq) F 2 (g) + NaCl(aq) Zn(s) + FeBr 2 (aq) Mg(s) + CaCl 2 (aq) Br 2 (l) + LiI(aq) Cl 2 (g) + KBr(aq)
