Chemistry 3-26-09 Single Replacement, Double Replacement & Combustion Reactions
CHEMISTRY: Moving right along….here’s the lecture from Thursday on the last of the types of chemical reactions. You’ll need to memorize all 17 of them (by Monday!), but don’t just memorize them. Make sure you can apply them as well. When you start to work any equation (like tomorrow on the worksheet!), first determine what type of reaction it is, then figure out what rule applies and follow it to determine the products. Don’t forget the quiz on Monday. I believe in you! You can do it!!

in a combustion reaction, it’s not just carbon dioxide and water that are always formed… is it? can other substances be formed as well or is it always just carbon dioxide and water?

Mackenzie
Yes, the product will always be CO2 and H2O.

Brandon- a combustion reaction is a reaction in which carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20) will be formed. (hydrocarbons burn in air to produce CO2 and H2O)

sorry, i mis-typed. what is a single replacement reaction?

Abby,
a single replacement reaction is when an element takes the place of another element in a compound

Leslie, Electrolysis is when you separate compounds by passing an electric current through them.

How can you tell the difference between a single-displacement reaction and a double-displacement reaction?

Leslie,
Electrolysis is the use of electricity to decompose a compound to yeild the original elements that composed it.

what’s a double replacment reaction?
[Reply]

In a double displacement reaction, metals only replace metals..right?

Can a less reactive metal replace a more reactive metal in bonding?

Kaele:Only metals more reactive then the one its replacing can trade places.

DJ…
two new compounds are formed from the reactants.

is it possible to have a triple-replacement reaction?

How do you know if a reaction is single-replacement or double-replacement?

THIS LECTURE HELPED ME GREATLY IN BALANSING EQUATION.

Cody: It deoends in what products are formed in the reaction.

*depends*
[Reply]
March 30th, 2009 at 9:22 PM
Double replacement reactions always require two compounds
[Reply]
March 31st, 2009 at 10:40 AM
Cody: the formula in our notes will help with what kind of reaction it is.
[Reply]
March 31st, 2009 at 5:26 PM
is it possible to have more than 5 different reactions in a single replacement reaction
[Reply]
March 31st, 2009 at 6:00 PM
@ Macy: A single replacement reaction involves one compound and one element (or polyatomic ion/acid) except in the case of reactions with water.
Double replacements involve two compounds creating two new compounds.

Audrey: There are 5 different types of reactions in single replacement reactions and there aren’t anymore in that type of reaction

Cody:
You can tell if a reaction is single replacement or double replacement by looking at the formulas we were given, but if it is a double replacement it always has two compounds as the reactants and the products.

Hey Ms. skinner, is it ok if in the project we are attacked by nomad bandits, kill them using the supplies we got off the plane, and steal their supplies and radio for help?

TIm, you carrot, you’re not supposed to ask that here.

Just so you guys know, the rule that metal oxides dont decompose above a certain level on the activity series only applies to metal oxides- not any compound with metal and oxygen.
