predicting chemical equations Flashcards
1
Q
combustion reaction
A
Hydrocarbon and oxygen as the reactants.
2
Q
replacement reactions
A
activity series tells us what metals can replace a metal in a compound dissolved in water(H2O)
3
Q
Single Replacement reactions
A
a metal will replace the cation in the compound/or a non-metal will replace the anion in the compound
4
Q
exothermic and endo thermic reaction
A
in single replacement reactions:
if the element is more reactive than the element it is replacing, it will also be a exothermic reaction
if above not true, it will be endothermic (no reaction)
5
Q
double reaction equations
A
both cation and anion switch places
6
Q
double replacement products
A
both product compound are ionic
