single replacement, combination, decomposition reactions

Question 1

single replacement reaction formula?

Answer 1

A + BC (aq) = AC (aq/s) + B

Question 2

single replacement reaction defined as?

Answer 2

an element and an aqueous ionic compound react to form:
- a new aqueous or solid ionic compound
- and a new element
(reactant element “kicks off” the element in the reactant ionic compound)

Question 3

if the reactant element in a single replacement reaction is a metal or H, it will replace the ___ in the ionic compound

Answer 3

metal

Question 4

if the reactant element in a single replacement reaction is a nonmetal, it will replace the ____ in the ionic compound

Answer 4

nonmetal

Question 5

what requirement needs to be met for an element/H to replace an element in the compound in a single replacement reaction?

Answer 5

element needs to be HIGHER on the activity series/more reactive than the element in the compound to replace it!

Question 6

if element can’t replace the element in an ionic compound in a single replacement reaction, what happens?

Answer 6

nothing- there will be no reaction

Question 7

what are combination reactions defined as? formula?

Answer 7

2 individual elements combine to form a compound
A + B = AB

Question 8

decomposition reactions are defined as? formula?

Answer 8

One compound breaks down into smaller components or its individual elements
AB = A + B
