Guidelines for Predicting the Products of Selected Types of Chemical Reaction

Key: M = Metal
NM = Nonmetal
1.

SYNTHESIS:
a. Formation of binary compound: A + B AB
b. Metal oxide-water reactions: MO + H2O base
c. Nonmetal oxide-water reactions: (NM)O + H2O acid

2.

DECOMPOSITION:
a. Binary compounds: AB A + B
b. Metallic carbonates: MCO3 MO + CO2
c. Metallic hydrogen carbonates: MHCO3 MO+ H2O(l) + CO2(g)
d. Metallic hydroxides: MOH MO + H2O
e. Metallic chlorates: MClO3 MCl + O2
f. Oxyacids decompose to nonmetal oxides and water: acid (NM)O + H2O

3.

SINGLE REPLACEMENT:
a. Metal-metal replacement: A + BC AC + B
b. Active metal replaces H from water: M + H2O MOH + H2
c. Active metal replaces H from acid: M + HX MX + H2
d. Halide-Halide replacement: D + BC BD + C

4.

DOUBLE REPLACEMENT: AB + CD AD + CB
a. Formation of a precipitate from solution
b. Acid-Base neutralization reaction

5.

COMBUSTION REACTION
Hydrocarbon + oxygen carbon dioxide + water
