 IRON NAIL OXYGEN GAS

Rust in the Nail

Iron reacts with oxygen in the air to form rust (iron(III) oxide). This is a slow
combination reaction that occurs over time when iron is exposed to
moisture and oxygen.

CHEMICAL REACTION
Many chemical reactions can be classified
as one of five basic types. Having a
thorough understanding of these types of
reactions will be useful for predicting the
products of an unknown reaction.
CHEMICAL REACTION
Analyzing the reactants and products of a
given reaction will allow you to place it
into one of these categories.

Some reactions will fit into more than one

category.

as a synthesis reaction, is a reaction
in which two or more substances
combine to form a single new
substance.

DECOMPOSITION REACTION
It is a reaction in which a compound
breaks down into two or more simpler
substances

an input of energy in the form of
heat, light, or electricity.

SINGLE-DISPLACEMENT
REACTION
It is a reaction in which one element replaces a
similar element in a compound. The general
form of a single-replacement (also called
single-displacement) reaction is:

General Equation:

AB + C → AC + B
When the element that is doing the replacing is a
nonmetal, it must replace another nonmetal in a
compound and vice versa

DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT
REACTION
A double-replacement reaction is a reaction in
which the positive and negative ions of two
ionic compounds exchange places to form two
new compounds.

The general form of a double-replacement

(also called double-displacement) reaction is:

AB + CD → AD + BC
DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT
REACTION
AB + CD → AD + BC
In this reaction, A and C are positively-charged
cations, while B and D are negatively-charged
anions.

Double-replacement reactions generally occur

between substances in aqueous solution. In
order for a reaction to occur, one of the
products is usually a solid precipitate, a gas, or
a molecular compound such as water.
