Predicting Products of Chemical Reactions

Front

What is a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: Fe + CuSO4 -> Cu + FeSO4.

Front

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A type of reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Example: 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O.

Front

What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where the anions and cations of two different compounds switch places, forming two new compounds. Example: AgNO3 + NaCl -> AgCl + NaNO3.

Front

What is a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. Example: 2H2O -> 2H2 + O2.

Front

What does it mean for an element to be diatomic?

Back

An element that naturally exists as two atoms bonded together. Example: H2, O2, N2.

Front

What is the subscript for diatomic elements when they are alone?

Back

2, indicating that they exist as pairs (e.g., H2, O2).

Front

What are the products of the reaction HBr?

Back

H2 and Br2.

Front

How do you predict the products of a chemical reaction?

Back

By identifying the type of reaction and the reactants involved, then applying the rules for that reaction type.

Front

What is the product of the reaction Cu + AgNO3?

Back

Cu(NO3)2 + Ag.

Front

What is the general form of a chemical equation?

Back

Reactants on the left side, products on the right side, separated by an arrow (->).
