Chemical Reaction

parts are mixed together

to make something new
 Types of Reactions
1. Synthesis reactions
2. Decomposition reactions
3. Single displacement reactions
4. Double displacement reactions

You need to be able to identify each type.

 1. Synthesis

Example C + O2

C + O O  O C O

General: A + B  AB
Ex. Synthesis Reaction
 Synthesis
• Predict the products.

2 Na(s) + Cl2(g)  2 NaCl(s)

Mg(s) + F2(g)  MgF2(s)

2 Al(s) +3 F2(g)  2 AlF3(s)

Synthesis = join together

 Synthesis
• A metal and nonmetal will form a salt.
• 2 nonmetals will form a covalent
compound
• A metal and oxygen will form a metal
oxide
• A nonmetal and oxygen will form a
nonmetal oxide
 Synthesis
• A metal oxide and water will form a
base
• A nonmetal oxide and water will form
an oxyacid
• A metal oxide and a nonmetal oxide
will form salts of oxyacid
• A metal hydroxide and a nonmetal
oxide will produce hydrogen oxysalt.
 2. Decomposition

Example: NaCl

Cl Na  Cl + Na

General: AB  A + B
Ex. Decomposition Reaction
 Decomposition
• Predict the products.

2 HgO  Hg2 + O2

2KClO3  2KCl + 3O2

Decomposition = split apart

 Decomposition
• Hydrates
• Chlorates
• Carbonates
• Hydroxides
• Bicarbonates
 3. Single Displacement
Example: Zn + CuCl2

Cu + Zn  Zn + Cu
Cl Cl Cl Cl

General: AB + C  AC + B
Ex. Single Replacement Reaction
Single Replacement Reactions

• Predict the products.

Cl2 + 2NaBr  2NaCl + Br2
C AB AC B
2HgO + Cl2  2HgCl + O2
 4. Double displacement

Example: MgO + CaS

Mg Ca  Mg Ca
+ +
O S S O

General: AB + CD  AD + CB
Single Replacement Reactions

• Predict the products.

CuCl2 + H2S  CuS + 2HCl

BaCl2 + Na2SO4  2NaCl + BaSO4

 join together split apart

A + B  AB AB  A + B

trade 1 place trade 2 places

AB + C  AC + B AB + CD  AC + BD
