General Chemical Equations Flashcards
Fuel + oxygen
Incomplete combustion
Fuel + oxygen –> carbon monoxide + carbon (soot) + water
reactive metal + water
reactive metal + water –> metal hydroxide + hydrogen
sodium + water –> sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
glucose + oxygen –>
aerobic respiration microbial fermentation
carboxylic acid
alkane + halogen (under UV for 20 min)
haloalkane
ethane + bromine –> bromoethane
metal hydroxide (alkali) + carboxylic acid
metal hydroxide (alkali) + carboxylic acid –> salt + water
Displacement reaction of metal A + metal B oxide
(only in metal A is more reactive than metal B)
metal A + metal B oxide –> metal B + metal A oxide
alcohol + [O]
alcohol + [O] –> carboxylic acid
Halogen displacment
halogen A + metal halide B–>
Only is halogen A is more reactive than halogen B
halogen A + metal halide B –> metal halide A + halogen B
Chlorine + aluminium iodide –> aluminium chloride + iodine
alkene + steam
alkene + steam –> alcohol
carbon + metal oxide
(only if metal is not copper, silver, gold or platinum)
carbon is more reactive and displaces the metal- metal is extracted!
carbon + metal oxide –> metal + carbon dioxide
non-metal + oxygen
Non-metal oxide (acidic if soluble)
metal carbonate + carboxylic acid
metal carbonate + carboxylic acid –> salt + water + carbon dioxide
metal + carboxylic acid
metal + carboxylic acid –> salt + hydrogen
metal + halogen
metal halide
Bromine and aluminium >>> more reactive than iodine and aluminium
metal + oxygen
metal oxide (Base or alkali if soluble)
glucose –>
anaerobic respiration microbial fermentation
ethanol + carbon dioxide
acid + metal carbonate
acid + metal carbonate –> salt + water + carbon dioxide
acid + alkali
acid + alkali –> salt + water
Fuel + oxygen
complete combustion
fuel + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water
alkene + halogen
dihaloalkane
ethene + bromine –> dibromoethane
metal oxide (base) + carboxylic acid
metal oxide + carboxylic acid –> salt + water
metal + acid
metal + acid –> salt + hydrogen
alcohol + carboxylic acid
alcohol + carboxylic acid –> ester + water
reactive metal + steam
reactive metal + water –> metal oxide + hydrogen
magnesium + steam –> magnesium oxide + hydrogen
acid + base
acid + base –> salt + water
Thermal decomposition of a metal carbonate
metal carbonate –> metal oxide + carbon dioxide
