Find the charge of each element in SO4^2-
S = +6 O = -8
Classify the reaction: 2HCl + Zn = H2 + ZnCl2
Single Displacement
Precipitation Reaction
The formation of an insoluble solid when two solutions are combined. Redox always occurs.
Reduction
The gain of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion. (ion reacts and becomes an atom(-))
Oxidation
The loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion. (atom reacts and becomes an ion(+))
Double displacement reaction
Two compounds react, and the positive ions (cation) and the negative ions (anion) of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds or products. Redox can never occur.
Combination synthesis reaction
Two or more elements or compounds combine to form a single compound. Redox always occurs.
Combustion reaction
When oxygen reacts with another substance and gives off heat and light. When organic molecules combust the reaction products are carbon dioxide and water (as well as heat). Redox always occurs.
Predict if the following reaction will occur: Mg (s) + CuSO4 (aq) = ...
Yes: Mg(s) + CuSO4(aq) = Cu(s) + MgSO4(aq)
Find the charge of each element in CuNO3
[x is nitrogen] 1 + x + 3(-2) = 0 1 + x - 6 = 0 x = 5 Cu = +1 N = +5 O = -2
Translate this word equation into a molecular equation, then balance it: Hydrogen chloride + Magnesium = Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen
2HCl + Mg = MgCl2 + H2
Write the net ionic equation for this molecular equation and name the spectator ion(s): AgNO3(aq) + KI(aq) = AgI(s) + NaNO3(aq)
Ag^+ (aq) + I^- (aq) = AgI(s) NO3^- & K^+
Neutralization Reaction
Also double displacement reactions, are when an acid and a base are mixed to create salt and water. Redox reaction doesn't occur.
Single displacement reaction
An element reacts with a compound and takes the place of another element in that compound. Redox always occurs.
Reactive metals in equations rules
1. The more reactive metal (initially) must be an atom for the reaction to occur 2. The less reactive metal (initially) must be an ion for the reaction to occur
Redox
A process where one substance or molecule is reduced and another oxidized.
Decomposition reaction
A single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds. Redox always occurs.
