Predicting Products of Chemical Reactions

The products of a combustion reaction will usually be

• unknown

• carbon dioxide and water

• carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas

• carbon and water

To determine whether a double replacement reaction will happen, one must consult

• a dictionary

• the activity series

• a solubility chart

• Advanced Potion-Making by Libatius Borage

To determine whether a single replacement reaction will happen, one must consult

• a lexicon

• the activity series

• a solubility chart

• One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi by Phyllida Spore

Predict the product of the following synthesis reaction.

Ca + N₂ -->

• CaN₂

• CaN

• Ca₃N₂

• CaNNot
