and Answers
What are the five types of chemical reactions?✔️✔️combination, decomposition, single-
replacement, double-replacement, combustion
What are the keys to predicting the products of the five general types of reactions?✔️✔️the
number of elements and/or compounds reacting
Classify each reaction and balance the equations.✔️✔️a. C3H6 + O2 > CO2 + H2O b. Al(OH)3 >
Al2O3 + H2O c. Li + O2 > Li2O d. Zn + AgNO3 > Ag + Zn(NO3)2 a. combustion: 2 C3H6 + 9
O2 > 6 CO2 + 6 H2O b. decomposition: 2 Al(OH)3 > Al2O3 + 3 H2O c. combination: 4 Li + O2
> 2 Li2O d. single-replacement: Zn + 2 AgNO3 > 2 Ag + Zn(NO3)2
Which of the five general types of reaction would most likely occur, given each set of reactants?
What are the probable products?✔️✔️a. an aqueous solution of two ionic compounds b. a single
compoundbc. two elements d. oxygen and a compound of carbon and hydrogen a. double
replacement; two different compounds b. decomposition; two or more elements and/or
compounds c. combination; a compound d. combustion; carbon dioxide and water
Complete and balance an equation for each reaction.✔️✔️a. CaI2 + Hg(NO3)2 > (HgI2
precipitates.) b. Al + Cl2 > c. Ag + HCl > d. C2H2 + O2 > e. MgCl2 > a. CaI2 + Hg(NO3)2 >
HgI2 + Ca(NO3)2 b. 2 Al + 3 Cl2 > 2 AlCl3 c. no reaction d. 2 C2H2 + 5 O2 > 4 CO2 + 2 H2O
e. MgCl2 > Mg + Cl2
What are the three types of products that result from double-replacement reactions?✔️✔️gas,
precipitate, and molecular compound
How can you predict the formation of a precipitate in a double-replacement reaction?✔️✔️You
can predict the formation of a precipitate by using the general rules for solubility for ionic
compounds.
