Single Replacement
Think of this category as the following:
Notice, the two guys are exchanging hats and think to yourself
that one of the guys after the exchange can not lose his hat.
1. Define this category in your own words. (Why is this category referred to as a de-ionizing reaction.)
2. Write a generalized equation for this category.
3. For a reaction to take place one of three things must happen, what are they and give an example of each case by
writing a balanced equation for the demos shown in class. (For letter (d) show a combination when two of these
occur at the same time)
a. (Aqueous solutions of sodium chloride and silver nitrate form a precipitate when mixed)
b. (Aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide neutralizes hydroiodic acid)
c. (Aqueous solutions of sodium sulfide and acetic acid produce a rotten egg smell)
d. (Limestone is used to neutralize a spill of sulfuric acid)

Double Replacement
1. Define this category in your own words
2. Write a generalized equation for this category.
3. What will always be one of the reactants “to cause” the burning of the carbon compound, and how does the
amount of this influence the products that are made. Give two examples below of this when methane (natural
gas) is burned in your Bunsen burner?

b.
4. Which of the two reactions above is preferred and why?
5. Write a balanced chemical equation for the burning of propane in a gas grill that will produce the most heat?
Combustion
GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FOR “EQUATION WRITING”
1. What does “descriptive” chemistry mean?
2. Explain why a mixing of two substances doesn’t always results in a chemical reaction?
a. What two categories tend to show a possibility of a “No Rxn”?
