Predicting Products of

Chemical Reactions
Synthesis

• metal + O2  metal oxide

• metal + halogen  metal halide

• Metal oxide + water  metal


hydroxide

• Metal oxide + nonmetal oxide 


salts

• Nonmetal oxide + water  oxyacid


Synthesis Example
• Write the products for the following
combination reaction:

Li(s) + O2(g) → Li2O(aq)


Decomposition

binary compounds  elements

• metal carbonates  metal oxide +


CO2

• metal hydroxides (except group 1)


metal oxide + H2O

• metal chlorates  metal chloride +


O2
Decomposition Example
• Write the products for the following
decomposition reaction:

Al2O3 (aq) → Al(s) + O2(g)


Single Replacement
metal replaces metal in a compound to
form new compound
active metal + H2O  metal hydroxide
+ H2
less active metal + H2O  metal oxide +
H2
active metal + acid  H2 + salt (metal w/
nonmetal)
halogen + salt  new salt + halogen
(one halogen replaces the other in
Single Replacement
Example
• Write the products for the following
single replacement reaction:
Ca2+ OH1-
Ca(s) + H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)
Double Replacement
• 2 compounds react & form 2 new
compounds:
compounds AX + BY  AY +
BX
• Precipitates,
Precipitates gases, and water can
form (see pg. 427 for solubility rules).
Double Replacement
Example
KBr(aq) + H2SO4(aq)  K2SO4(aq) + HBr(aq)

NaNO3(aq) + MgCl2(aq) NaCl(aq) + Mg(NO3)2(aq)


Combustion
• Carbon compound + O2  CO2 +
H2O
Combustion Example
• Predict the products. Then write the
formulas and balance the equation:
– C3H8(l) + O2(g) 

C3H8(l) + 5O2(g)  3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l)
