Section 9.2 Classifying Chemical Reactions
• Classify chemical reactions.
metal: an element that is a solid at room temperature, a good conductor of heat and electricity, and is generally shiny
• Identify the characteristics of different classes of chemical reactions.
Section 9-2
Section 9.2 Classifying Chemical Reactions (cont.)
synthesis reaction
combustion reaction
decomposition reaction
single-replacement reaction
There are four types of chemical reactions: synthesis, combustion, decomposition, and replacement reactions.
double-replacement reaction
precipitate
Section 9-2
Types of Chemical Reactions
• Chemists classify reactions in order to organize the many types.
• A synthesis reaction is a reaction in which two or more substances react to produce a single product.
Section 9-2
Types of Chemical Reactions (cont.)
• When two elements react, the reaction is always a synthesis reaction.
Section 9-2
Types of Chemical Reactions (cont.)
• In a combustion reaction, oxygen combines with a substance and releases energy in the form of heat and light.
• Heated hydrogen reacts with oxygen to produce heat and water in a combustion reaction. This is also a synthesis reaction.
Section 9-2
Decomposition Reactions
• A decomposition reaction is one in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds.
• Decomposition reactions often require an energy source, such as heat, light, or electricity, to occur.
Section 9-2
Replacement Reactions
• A reaction in which the atoms of one element replace the atoms of another element in a compound is called a single replacement reaction.
A + BX → AX + B
Section 9-2
Replacement Reactions (cont.)
• A metal will not always replace a metal in a compound dissolved in water because of differing reactivities.
• An activity series can be used to predict if reactions will occur.
Section 9-2
Replacement Reactions (cont.)
• Halogens frequently replace other halogens in replacement reactions.
• Halogens also have different reactivities and do not always replace each other.
Section 9-2
Replacement Reactions (cont.)
• Double replacement reactions occur when ions exchange between two compounds.
• This figure shows a generic double replacement equation.
Section 9-2
Replacement Reactions (cont.)
• The solid product produced during a chemical reaction in a solution is called a precipitate.
• All double replacement reactions produce either water, a precipitate, or a gas.
Section 9-2
Replacement Reactions (cont.)
• This table shows the steps to write double replacement reactions.
