10. Single Displacement Reaction
A + B C A C + B
A reaction where an element
displaces another element in a
compound, producing a new
compound and a new element
13. Single Displacement Reaction
Hg(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s) Hg(s) + 2AgNO3(aq)
Will this reaction occur?
H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) 2HCl(aq) + Zn(s)
What about this reaction?
The second reaction does not
occur. How will you know if a
single displacement reaction
will occur or not?

and Who’s Not
Analogy”
16. Single Displacement Reaction
Involving halogens…
I2(aq) + CaBr2(aq) ?
Will this reaction occur?
This reaction will not occur
REACTIVENESS
The position of
halogens in the periodic
table tells you how
reactive they are
17. Single Displacement Reaction
Involving halogens…
Cl2(g) + KBr(aq) ?
Will this reaction occur?
REACTIVENESS
This reaction will occur
Cl2(g) + 2KBr(aq) 2KCl(aq) + Br2(l)
21. Double Displacement Reaction
3CoCl2(aq) + 2Na3PO4(aq) Co3(PO4)2(s) + 6NaCl(aq)
Will this reaction occur?
A reaction will
occur only if the
following will be
produced
1)Gas
2)Solid precipitate
3)Water Solubility

23. Double Displacement Reaction
How will you know if the product is a gas?
CO2 is a gas, but not every gas is that simple to recognize
If one of the products is H2CO3(aq) or NH4OH(aq),
then you will get a gas!
H2CO3(aq) H2O(l) + CO2(g)
NH4OH(aq) NH3(g) + H2O(l)
24. Double Displacement Reaction
For example:
Na2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) 2NaCl(aq) + H2CO3(aq)
H2CO3(aq) H2O(l) + CO2(g)
The equation may be re-written as…
Na2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
25. Double Displacement Reaction
Neutralization reaction: Special type of
double displacement reaction
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)
Hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide water + salt (sodium chloride)
Corrosive + corrosive non-corrosive + non-corrosive
29. Combustion Reaction
Element + O2 “oxide” + energy
2Mg(s) + O2(g) 2MgO(s) + energy P4(s) + 5O2(g) P4O10(g) + energy
30. Combustion Reaction
When burning a fuel, there are two types of
combustion to consider:
1st Type: COMPLETE COMBUSTION
Hydrocarbon + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energy
Ex. CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) + energy
32. Predicting the Products for a
Chemical Reaction
K + Cl2 ?
1) Are the reactants in their pure elemental form (i.e. O 2, Mg, Cl2)?
If yes, then this reaction is a SYNTHESIS REACTION
So there should only be ONE product, and it should contain
both reactants
2K + Cl2 2KCl
33. Predicting the Products for a
Chemical Reaction
H 2O ?
2) Is there only ONE reactant?
If yes, then this reaction is a DECOMPOSITION REACTION
So there should be two products, each being a separate element
(i.e. Na, Ca, O2, I2, Br2) although that is not always the case
2H2O 2H2 + O2
34. Predicting the Products for a
Chemical Reaction
H 2 O2 ?
2) Is there only ONE reactant?
If yes, then this reaction is a DECOMPOSITION REACTION
So there should be two products, each being a separate element
(i.e. Na, Ca, O2, I2, Br2) although that is not always the case
2H2O2 2H2O + O2
35. Predicting the Products for a
Chemical Reaction
Zn + SnCl2 ?
3) If there are 2 reactants, is one of them a pure metal on its own?
If yes, then this reaction is a SINGLE DISPLACEMENT REACTION
So the metal that is on its own must take the place of the other
metal that is in the larger compound
Zn + SnCl2 ZnCl2 + Sn
36. Predicting the Products for a
Chemical Reaction
NaCl + AgNO3 ?
4) Are both of the reactants compounds?
If yes, then this reaction is a DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT REACTION
So the two metals must switch places with one another, forming
two new compounds
NaCl + AgNO3 NaNO3 + AgCl
37. Predicting the Products for a
Chemical Reaction
C8H18 + O2 ?
5) Is one of the reactants oxygen gas?
If yes, then this reaction is a COMBUSTION REACTION (as well as a
SYNTHESIS REACTION)
So the products must be an oxide and energy. If one of the
reactants is a hydrocarbon, then CO2 + H2O are the products.
2C8H18 + 25O2 16CO2 + 18H2O + energy
