Electron Transfer Reactions:
Oxidation-reduction (also called redox) reactions have been shown earlier.
Combination:
C + O2 => CO2
Single replacement:
C + Fe2O3 => Fe + CO2
Decomposition
NaNO3 => NaNO2 + O2

Insolubility Rules in Water

No Comment - Post a comment

All carbonates(CO32-), chromates(CrO4 2- ) and phosphates(PO4 3- ) are insoluble except ammonium and alkali elements.
All hydroxides (OH-) are insoluble except those of alkali elements, ammonium ions, except Sr2+ , Ba2+ and Ca2+
All metal sulfides (S 2- ) are insoluble except those of alkali elements and ammonium ions

 

Solubility Rules in Water

All ionic compounds of alkali elements (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium & cesium) and ammonium ions are soluble.
All nitrates, chlorates and perchlorates are soluble.
Chlorides, bromides and iodides are soluble except Pb2+, Ag+ & Hg22+
All sulfates are soluble except Sr2+ , Ba2+ Pb2+ and Hg22+

 

Single-Double Replacement Reactions

No Comment - Post a comment

**Single Replacement Reactions
an element is substituted into a compound for another element in the compound:
A + BY => AY + B
Example: the reduction of metal oxides with carbon

**Double Replacement Reactions
two compounds exchange atoms or groups of atoms to produce two different compounds:
AX + BY => AY + BX

Example: the reaction of a metal carbonate with an acid
Precipitation
two soluble ionic compounds form an insoluble product, a precipitate, when mixed based

on

AX (aq) + BY (aq) => AY (s) + BX (aq)

AX (s) + H2O (l) => A+ (aq) + X- (aq)

BY (s) + H2O (l) => B+ (aq) + Y- (aq)

 

Balancing Equations

No Comment - Post a comment

Identify an element that appears in only one substance on each side of the equation.
If several atoms satisfy this condition, select the substance that has the largest

number of atoms of a single element.
Balance the number of atoms of that element by placing the proper coefficients in front

of each substance with that element on each side of the equation.
Balance atoms of other elements by the same process.
Next, balance atoms that appear in two or more places.
Examples of Balancing Equations:
-Nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia
-Aluminum hydroxide reacts with sulfuric acid to yield aluminum sulfate and water
