Synthesis
Element + Element = Element
Combustion
Compound + Oxygen = Carbon + Water
Word Equation
Uses words
Ex: Lead (II) nitrate and sodium iodide react to make lead (II) iodide and sodium nitrate
_N2 + _O2 = _N2O5
N2 + O2 = N2H5
Synthesis
Decomposition
Element = Element + Element
Temperature
Increases or Decreases without adding heat or cooling the reaction
Skeletal Equation
Uses regular subscripts
Ex: Pb(NO3)2 + NaI = PbI2 + NaNO3
_C2H6 + _O2 = _CO2 + _H2O
C2H6 + O2 = CO2 + H2O
Combustion
Single Replacement
Compound + Element = Compound + Element
Color Change
Without adding any dye
Balanced Equation
Uses Mole Ratios
Ex: Pb(NO3)2 + 2 NaI = PbI2 + 2 NaNO3
_KClO3 = _KCI + _O2
(2) KClO3 = (2) KCl + (3) O2
BaCl2 + Na2SO4 = BaSO4 + NaCl
Double Replacement
Double Replacement
Compound + Compound = Compound + Compound
Gas Forms
Without causing a liquid to boil from external energy
What does (s), (aq), (l), and (g) stand for?
Solid (s), Aqueous (aq), Liquid (l), and Gas (g)
_HCl + _Ca(OH)2 = _CaCl2 + _H2O
KClO3 = KCl + O2
Decomposition
Neutralization
Acid + Base = Compound + Water
Solid Forms
A precipitate appears in the solution where there was no solid previously or a new solid replaces the original solid
What do the coefficients in front of NaCl and CaCO₃ indicate?
CaCl₂ (aq) + Na₂CO₃ (aq) → CaCO₃ (s) + 2NaCl (aq)
The mole ratio of substances in the reaction
(2) C4H10 + (13) O2 = (8) CO2 + (10) H2O
HCl + Ca(OH)2 = CaCl2 + H2O
