7. If a precipitate is formed during a lab, what visual observations would you make? (What does the
precipitate look like?)
8. A chemical equation has only 1 reactant. What type of chemical reaction would this be?
9. A chemical equation has only 1 product. What type of chemical reaction would this be?
10. A reaction has an element and a compound as reactants. What type of reaction would this be?
11. A reaction has 2 compounds as reactants. What type of reaction would this be?
12. A reaction has a hydrocarbon and oxygen as reactants. What type of reaction would this be?
13. In station 1, the chemical reaction shows the reaction between magnesium and oxygen, but the
directions only tell you to heat the magnesium. Where does the oxygen come from?
14. In station 7, you observed bubbles being formed during the reaction. What is the identity of the bubbles?
15. In station 5, ethanol reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, but there were no products
observed during the reaction. Describe why you could not see the carbon dioxide and water.
