•
Chemical reactions are merely rearrangements of
atoms into different combinations called compounds.
There got to be some patterns that can be
categorized into different types.
UNIT 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
EXERCISE
Balancing the following chemical equations:
1. aluminum(s) + iodine(s) aluminum iodide(s)
2. sulfur trioxide + water sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
3. lithium oxide + water lithium hydroxide
Do you see the patterns?
SYNTHESIS REACTIONS
Called also combination reactions
General Equation: A + B
Animation:
2 elements, or compounds combine to make one
compound.
Mg +O2 MgO
SO2 + H2O H2SO3
TYPES OF SYNTHESIS REACTIONS
Combination of elements
Element + element compound
2Hg + O2 2HgO
9Mg + 3N2 3Mg3N2
Nonmetalic Oxides + water acid
SO2 + H2O H2SO3
P4O10 + 6H2O 4H3PO4
TYPES OF SYNTHESIS REACTIONS
Metalic oxides + water base
MgO + H2O Mg(OH)2
Na2O + H2O 2NaOH
Metallic oxides + nonmetallic oxide salt
MgO + CO2 MgCO3
CaO + SiO2 CaSiO3
EXERCISE
Watch the following video clips and write balanced equations:
1. Thermal decomposition of copper(II) nitrate
When heated, solid copper(II) nitrate decomposes
into copper(II) oxide, nitrogen dioxide and water
vapor.
2. Thermal decomposition of zinc carbonate
When heated, solid zinc carbonate decomposes into
solid zinc oxide and carbon dioxide gas.
Do you see the patterns?
DECOMPOSITION REACTIONS
Substances break apart.
General Form:
AB A + B
Animation:
Decomposition reactions are reverse of
synthesis, with exceptions.
DECOMPOSITION REACTIONS
Special Cases
Metal Chlorate metal chloride + oxygen
2KClO3 2KCl + 3O2
Metal bicarbonate metal oxide + carbon dioxide
+ water
2NaHCO3 Na2O + 2CO2 + H2O
DECOMPOSITION REACTIONS
Special Cases
Most
oxides are stable, only few decompose:
2HgO Hg + O2
Electrolysis of molten salt (decomposition
by electricity) is the only means for
decomposition for some substances:
2H2O 2H2 + O2
2NaCl 2Na + Cl2
DEMOS
1. The methane bubble
2. The perfect combution (ethanol)

3. Burning of methanol
Do you see the patterns?
COMBUSTION REACTIONS
A compound composed of only C, H and
maybe O is reacted with oxygen
If the combustion is complete, the
products will be CO2 and H2O.
If the combustion is incomplete, the
products will be CO and H2O.
EXERCISES
C4H10
+ O2 (complete combustion)
C4H10
+ O2 (incomplete combustion)
C6H12O6
C8H8
+ O2 (complete combustion)
+O2 (incomplete combustion)
