Hon Chemistry 4-2-13 Double Replacement & Combustion Reactions

HON CHEMISTRY: You realize what we did? We finished all 17 types of reactions today. To celebrate, we’ll start tomorrows class with a bang! Well, it will be more like a whoosh, but we’ll still celebrate!

Careful when you work tonight’s homework! For all single replacement reactions and reactions involving forming or decomposing oxide, be sure and refer to the Activity Series. Yes, you will get to memorize it!

Are you working on memorizing all 17 types of reactions for Friday – and forever?! But don’t just memorize them. Make sure you can apply them as well. When you start to work any equation, first determine what type of reaction it is, then figure out what rule applies and follow it to determine the products. I believe in you! You can do it!! (and yes, I realize I am repeating myself, but I do and you can!)

Need some extra practice? Help session Thursday morning, 7:15 A.M.

  1. I need clarification on one of the rules. It says: Reactive metals replace hydrogen in acids to produce an ionic compound and hydrogen gas. Does that mean only a metal by itself, or any metal even if it’s in a compound?

    • Murry – that rule refers to a single replacement reaction, so it’s talking about a metal as a single element, not if it’s in a compound. That would make it a double replacement reaction!

  2. Even though I did not do well on the quiz… I am getting better at balancing equations. Thank you Ms. Skinner!
