print "Handouts" instead of

Types of Reactions
• There are five types of chemical
reactions we will talk about:
1. Synthesis reactions
2. _____________ reactions
3. Single displacement reactions
4. ________________ reactions
5. Combustion reactions
• You need to be able to identify the type
of reaction and predict the product(s)
Steps to Writing Reactions
• Some steps for doing reactions
1. Identify the type of reaction
2. Predict the product(s) using the type of reaction
as a model
3. Balance it
Don’t forget about the diatomic elements!

(BrINClHOF) For example, Oxygen is O2 as an
element.
In a compound, it can’t be a diatomic element
because it’s not an element anymore, it’s a
compound!
1. Synthesis reactions
• Synthesis reactions occur when two
substances (generally elements) combine
and form a compound. (Sometimes these are
called combination or addition reactions.)
reactant + reactant  1 product
• Basically: A + B  AB
• Example: 2H2 + O2  2H2O
• Example: C + O2  CO2
Synthesis Reactions
• Here is another example of a synthesis
reaction
Practice
• Predict the products. Write and balance
the following synthesis reaction equations.
• Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas
Na(s) + Cl2(g) 
• Solid Magnesium reacts with fluorine gas
Mg(s) + F2(g) 
• Aluminum metal reacts with fluorine gas
Al(s) + F2(g) 
2. Decomposition Reactions
• Decomposition reactions occur when a
compound breaks up into the elements or
in a few to simpler compounds
• 1 Reactant  Product + Product
• In general: AB  A + B
• Example: 2 H2O  2H2 + O2
• Example: 2 HgO  2Hg + O2
Decomposition Reactions
• Another view of a decomposition reaction:
Decomposition Exceptions
• Carbonates and chlorates are special case
decomposition reactions that do not go to
the elements.
• Carbonates (CO32-) decompose to carbon
dioxide and a metal oxide
• Example: CaCO3  CO2 + CaO
• Chlorates (ClO3-) decompose to oxygen gas
and a metal chloride
• Example: 2 Al(ClO3)3  2 AlCl3 + 9 O2
• There are other special cases, but we will not
explore those in Chemistry I
Practice
• Predict the products. Then, write and
balance the following decomposition
reaction equations:
• Solid Lead (IV) oxide decomposes
PbO2(s) 
• Aluminum nitride decomposes
AlN(s) 
Practice
Identify the type of reaction for each of the
following synthesis or decomposition
reactions, and write the balanced equation:
N2(g) + O2(g)  Nitrogen monoxide
BaCO3(s) 
Co(s)+ S(s)  (make Co be +3)
NH3(g) + H2CO3(aq) 
NI3(s) 
3. Single Replacement Reactions
• Single Replacement Reactions occur when
one element replaces another in a compound.
• A metal can replace a metal (+) OR
a nonmetal can replace a nonmetal (-).
• element + compound product + product
A + BC  AC + B (if A is a metal) OR
A + BC  BA + C (if A is a nonmetal)
(remember the cation always goes first!)
When H2O splits into ions, it splits into

H+ and OH- (not H+ and O-2 !!)
Single Replacement Reactions
• Another view:
• Write and balance the following single
replacement reaction equation:
• Zinc metal reacts with aqueous
hydrochloric acid
Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq)  ZnCl2 + H2(g)
Note: Zinc replaces the hydrogen ion in the
reaction
• Sodium chloride solid reacts with fluorine gas
2 NaCl(s) + F2(g)  2NaF(s) + Cl2(g)
Note that fluorine replaces chlorine in the compound
• Aluminum metal reacts with aqueous copper
(II) nitrate
Al(s)+ Cu(NO3)2(aq)
4. Double Replacement Reactions
• Double Replacement Reactions occur
when a metal replaces a metal in a compound
and a nonmetal replaces a nonmetal in a
compound
• Compound + compound  product +
product
• AB + CD  AD + CB
Double Replacement Reactions
• Think about it like “foil”ing in algebra, first and
last ions go together + inside ions go together
• Example:
AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(s)  AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
• Another example:
K2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq)  2KNO3(aq) + BaSO4(s)
Practice
• Predict the products. Balance the equation
1. HCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) 
2. CaCl2(aq) + Na3PO4(aq) 
3. Pb(NO3)2(aq) + BaCl2(aq) 
4. FeCl3(aq) + NaOH(aq) 
5. H2SO4(aq) + NaOH(aq) 
6. KOH(aq) + CuSO4(aq) 
5. Combustion Reactions
• Combustion reactions
occur when a hydrocarbon
reacts with oxygen gas.
• This is also called
burning!!! In order to burn
something you need the 3
things in the “fire
triangle”:
1) A Fuel (hydrocarbon)
2) Oxygen to burn it with
3) Something to ignite the
reaction (spark)
Combustion Reactions
• In general:
CxHy + O2  CO2 + H2O
• Products in combustion are
ALWAYS carbon dioxide and
water. (although incomplete
burning does cause some by-
products like carbon monoxide)
• Combustion is used to heat
homes and run automobiles
(octane, as in gasoline, is C8H18)
Combustion
Reactions
Edgar Allen Poe’s

drooping eyes and
mouth are potential
signs of CO
poisoning.
Combustion
• Example
• C5H12 + O2  CO2 + H2O
8 5 6
• Write the products and balance the following
combustion reaction:
• C10H22 + O2 
Mixed Practice
• State the type, predict the products, and
balance the following reactions:
1. BaCl2 + H2SO4 
2. C6H12 + O2 
3. Zn + CuSO4 
4. Cs + Br2 
5. FeCO3 
Total Ionic Equations
(HONORS ONLY)
 Once you write the molecular equation
(synthesis, decomposition, etc.), you should
check for reactants and products that are soluble
or insoluble.
 We usually assume the reaction is in water
 We can use a solubility table to tell us what
compounds dissolve in water.
 If the compound is soluble (does dissolve in
water), then splits the compound into its
component ions
 If the compound is insoluble (does NOT dissolve
in water), then it remains as a compound
Solubility Table
Solubilities Not on the Table!
 Gases only slightly dissolve in water
 Strong acids and bases dissolve in water
 Hydrochloric, Hydrobromic, Hydroiodic, Nitric,
Sulfuric, Perchloric Acids
 Group I hydroxides (should be on your chart anyway)
 Water slightly dissolves in water! (H+ and OH-)
 For the homework… SrSO4 is insoluble; BeI2 and
the products are soluble
 There are other tables and rules that cover more
compounds than your table!
Total Ionic Equations
Molecular Equation:
K2CrO4 + Pb(NO3)2  PbCrO4 + 2 KNO3
Soluble Soluble Insoluble Soluble
Total Ionic Equation:

2 K+ + CrO4 -2 + Pb+2 + 2 NO3- 
PbCrO4 (s) + 2 K+ + 2 NO3-
Net Ionic Equations
 These are the same as total ionic
equations, but you should cancel out ions
that appear on BOTH sides of the equation
Total Ionic Equation:
2 K+ + CrO4 -2 + Pb+2 + 2 NO3- 
PbCrO4 (s) + 2 K+ + 2 NO3-
Net Ionic Equation:
CrO4 -2 + Pb+2  PbCrO4 (s)
Net Ionic Equations
 Try this one! Write the molecular, total ionic, and net
ionic equations for this reaction: Silver nitrate reacts
with Lead (II) Chloride in hot water.
