Chemical Reactions Review
Balancing Chemical Equations
- Balancing chemical equations ensures the same number and kind of atoms on both sides (reactants and products).
- This process demonstrates the law of conservation of matter.
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Synthesis
- Decomposition
- Double Replacement
- Single Replacement
- Complete Combustion
- Incomplete Combustion
- Neutralization Reactions
Predicting Products
- Predict the products of a chemical reaction given two reactants.
- Determine if a product will form a precipitate.
Activity Series
- Use the activity series of metals to predict whether single replacement reactions will occur.
- Halogen activity order: F > Cl > Br > I
- Predict single replacement reactions involving halides based on the activity series.
Solubility Rules
- Define soluble and insoluble.
- Interpret solubility rules using a provided table.
Polyatomic Ions
- Know the formulas and charges of the following polyatomic ions:
- Ammonium
- Nitrate
- Nitrite
- Carbonate
- Bicarbonate
- Sulfate
- Sulfite
- Phosphate
- Phosphite
- Hydroxide
- Peroxide
- Acetate
- Hypochlorite
- Chlorite
- Chlorate
