Q

Single Replacement

A

An element and a compound are located on each side of the equation. The Activity Series must be checked to determine if the reaction will occur. If the reaction occurs, the element on the reactant side switches with the similarly charged ion within the compound on the reactant side.

A + BC –> AC + B

Q

Double Displacement

A

There are two compounds on each side of the equation. During a DD Reaction the positively charged cations in each compound switch places. Also known as Precipitate Reaction. For the reaction to occur a precipitate must be formed. The solubility rules or table are used to confirm this.

AB + CD –> AD + CB

Q

How does a reaction at equilibrium shift when more reactants are added?

A

Reaction shifts to the right to make more product.

60
Q

How does a reaction at equilibrium shift when reactants are removed?

A

Reaction shifts to the left to make more reactant.

61
Q

How does a reaction at equilibrium shift when more products are added?

A

Reaction shifts to the left to make more reactant.

62
Q

How does a reaction at equilibrium shift when products are removed?

A

Reaction shifts to the right to make more product.

63
Q

What happens to an endothermic reaction when temperature is increased?

A

Heat is a reactant, so the reaction will shift to the right to make more product.

64
Q

What happens to an endothermic reaction when temperature is lowered?

A

Heat is a reactant, so the reaction will shift to the left to make more reactant.

65
Q

What happens to an exothermic reaction when temperature is increased?

A

Heat is a product, so the reaction shifts to the left to make more reactant.

66
Q

What happens to an exothermic reaction when temperature is lowered?

A

Heat is a product, so the reaction shifts to the right to make more product.

67
Q

What happens when the pressure of a reaction at equilibrium is increased?

A

It depends if there are gases present. If there ARE gases present, reaction will shift to the side with the lower number of moles of gas.

68
Q

What happens when the pressure of a reaction at equilibrium is increased?

A

It depends if there are gases present. If there ARE gases present, reaction will shift to the side with the greater number of moles of gas.
