16
Q

one of the following is usually true for double replacement reactions:

A
  • one of the products is soluble, and the other forms a precipitate
  • one of the products is a gas
  • one of the products is a molecular compound (like water)
17
Q

double replacement reactions are generally in

A

aqueous solutions

18
Q

in COMBUSTION reactions, if not enough oxygen is present____ can be products

A

soot and CO gas (carbon monoxide)

19
Q

hydrocarbons are important because

A

they are high energy fuels when burned

20
Q

what does a net ionic equation show about double replacement that a molecular doesn’t?

A

the importance of water in separating ions

21
Q

synthesis

A

A+B–> AB
also:
metal oxide+ H2O –> metal hydroxide
non metal oxide+ H2O—> acid

22
Q

decomposition

A

AB–> A + B
usually REQUIRES energy
also:
metal carbonate–> metal oxide + carbon dioxide
metal chlorate—> metal chloride + oxygen

23
Q

single replacement

A

A+BC–> AC+B
A and B are metals
A must be higher than B on activity series

  • be aware that all halogens follow these same rules
24
Q

double replacement

A

AB+CD–> AD + CB
(inner and outer)
if all are reactants are aqueous, NVR

25
combustion
hydrocarbon + O2--> CO2+H2O
26
balancing checklist
1. HOClBrFIn 2. balanced charges in compounds 3. balanced atoms on each side
27
net ionic equations describe
only the species that change in the reaction (reactants that change states of matter) ONLY DOUBLE REPLACEMENT REACTIONS
28
why do net ionic equations only describe double replacement?
in all other reactions EVERYTHING changes, so it's the same as the molecular
