Types of Chemical Reactions. Synthesis. In a synthesis reaction smaller less complicated reactants bond to form larger more complicated products. Two amino acids joining to form a dipeptide protein. Decomposition Reaction.
E N D
Synthesis In a synthesis reaction smaller less complicated reactants bond to form larger more complicated products.
Decomposition Reaction • In a decomposition reaction larger more complicated reactants breakdown into smaller less complicated products
CuCO3 + EH CuO + CO2 HgO(s) +EH Hg(l) + O2(g)
Single Displacement • In a single displacement reaction one element replaces another in a reactant. • For example Cu is more reactive than Ag and so will displace it. • Cu(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq) Cu(NO3)2 + Ag(s)
Double Displacement Reactions • In a double displacement reactions the molecules of the compounds involved switch.
This is very common in ionic compounds. The cations (metals) switch places

Combustion • Combustion is a reaction where a "fuel" reacts with oxygen • The products are usually an oxide and energy. • Hydrocarbons are compounds made of Hydrogen and Carbon • i.e. CH4 (methane) C2H6 (ethane) ……… • The complete combustion of hydrocarbons always results in CO2 and H2O CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O + EH
Incomplete combustion • If there is not enough oxygen then not all of the fuel will combust. • This leaves products other than CO2 and H2O Hydrocarbon + O2 CO2 + H2O + CO + C
Incomplete Combustion and the Car Engine N2 from the air can react with uncombusted hydrocarbons To for a variety of pernicious chemicals, called PANs ( peroxyacetyl nitrates. (smog) Photochemical smog : The chemical soup of pans reacts in the presence of sunlight to make a variety of dangerous compounds.
Burning Metals • Fe + O2 FeO + energy 2Mg + O2 2MgO + energy
Burning Nonmetals S + O2 SO2 SO2 + O2 SO4 SO4 + H2O H2SO4 (sulphuric acid => Acid Percipitation Sulphur is an impurity found in poor quality coal burned to make electricity. It is a by product of the combustion of carbon • Sulphur
Corrosion • Corrosion is the disintegration of a metal due to exposure to its environment • Usually oxygen • Iron corrodes (rusts) Iron (III) + oxygen Iron (II) oxide which is a reddish flaky material. This flakes off exposing more iron to oxygen. The iron will eventually disappear. • Beneficial Corrosion: 2Zn + O2 2ZnO This is a very hard impenetrable coating. Once oxidized oxidation stops. ZnO makes a barrier to O2 . ZnO can be applied to Fe. This makes a barrier that prevents the Fe from rusting (galvanized iron) • Copper (II) oxidizes to form Copper (II) oxide. This is a green impenetrable coating (i.e. The green roof of the parliament buildings in Ottawa)
