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
Q

combustion

A

hydrocarbon + O2–> CO2+H2O

26
Q

balancing checklist

A
  1. HOClBrFIn
  2. balanced charges in compounds
  3. balanced atoms on each side
27
Q

net ionic equations describe

A

only the species that change in the reaction (reactants that change states of matter)

ONLY DOUBLE REPLACEMENT REACTIONS

28
Q

why do net ionic equations only describe double replacement?

A

in all other reactions EVERYTHING changes, so it’s the same as the molecular
