Single and Double Replacement Reactions
Double-replacement reaction
CaCO3 + 2 HCl CaCl2 + H2CO3
General form: AB + CD AD + CB
Single-replacement reaction
Mg + CuSO4 MgSO4 + Cu
General form: A + BC AC + B
Single displacement is a type of a reaction when a metal reacts with a compound containing a metal, where the single metal in the reaction is more reactive replaces the less reactive metal in the compound.
Single-replacement reaction
Mg + CuSO4 MgSO4 + Cu
General form: A + BC AC + B
DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT REACTIONS: In a double displacement reaction (ionic reaction) the ions of two compounds exchange places in an aqueous solution to form two new compounds.
Double-replacement reaction
CaCO3 + 2 HCl CaCl2 + H2CO3
General form: AB + CD AD + CB
Double Replacement Reaction
Synthesis Reactions - when two compounds or elements combine to make one molecule or compound. A+ B --> AB 2 H2 + O2 -------> 2 H2O
Decomposition Reactions - a compound or molecule breaks down into simpler elements or compounds AB - -> A + B CO2 ------> C + O2
Important Chemical Reactions
Oxidation ReactionsReactant + Oxygen -------> Products
Oxidation reactions are fundamental to our existence
Definition: A chemical change involving oxygen
Oxidation reactions can occur more rapidly in the presence of humidity in the air, or in the presence of light
GALVINIZATION – coating iron materials with zinc to prevent the formation of rust.
Combustion Combustion – Form of oxidation that releases a large
amount of energy (HIGHLY EXOTHERMIC).
Three requirements for a combustion: Fuel – reacts with oxidizing agent to release energy Oxidizing agent – substance that causes a fuel to react
(usually oxygen) Ignition temperature – the required temperature needed to
combust the fuel
Three types of combustions: Rapid – Release a lot of energy in a short period of time Spontaneous – Fuel ignites without the need for outside
energy Slow – Occurs of long period of time
A Combustion reaction usually looks like: Fuel + oxygen ------> CO2 + H2O + Energy
CH4 + O2 -------> CO2 + H2O
