This document discusses different types of chemical reactions including decomposition, synthesis, combustion, double replacement, and single replacement reactions. It provides examples of each type of reaction and explains the key features that define them. Double replacement reactions are highlighted, where a metal replaces a metal in a compound and a nonmetal replaces a nonmetal, forming a precipitate if one of the products is insoluble. Guidelines are provided for writing molecular, total ionic, and net ionic equations for double replacement reactions.
3. 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 H 2 O 2H 2 + O 2 Example: 2 HgO 2Hg + O 2
5. 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: 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O Example: C + O 2 CO 2
7. 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)
8. Combustion Reactions In general: C x H y + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O 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 C 8 H 18 )
10. Procedures Various combinations of ionic compounds in solution were mixed Some of these combinations formed cloudy precipitates One of the products of these reactions was an ionic compound that was less soluble. It must have a lower Ksp.
11. 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

Net ionic equation leaves out the spectator ions. Ag + (aq) + Cl - (aq) AgCl(s)
18. Writing Net Ionic Equations Write the balanced molecular equation. Write the ionic equation showing the strong electrolytes completely dissociated into cations and anions. Cancel the spectator ions on both sides of the ionic equation AgNO 3 ( aq ) + NaCl ( aq ) AgCl ( s ) + NaNO 3 ( aq ) Ag + + NO 3 - + Na + + Cl - AgCl ( s ) + Na + + NO 3 - Ag + + Cl - AgCl ( s ) Write the net ionic equation for the reaction of silver nitrate with sodium chloride.

28. 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 + + CrO 4 -2 + Pb +2 + 2 NO 3 - PbCrO 4 (s) + 2 K + + 2 NO 3 - Net Ionic Equation: CrO 4 -2 + Pb +2 PbCrO 4 (s)
