Writing Chemical Reactions This worksheet is designed to help you predict products of simple reactions of the four basic reaction types (combination, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement) and combustion reactions. You will complete it in 3 phases. Phase 1: Write a Skeleton Chemical Equation For all reactions, you should predict (write the formulas of) the products. For some reactions, you must also identify the type of reaction. Pay particular attention to the ionic charge of species that you know form ions with only one possible charge (e.g., alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, etc.) LEAVE SOME SPACE BEFORE AND AFTER EACH FORMULA OR SYMBOL YOU WRITE. As we learn more, you will complete Phase 2 & 3 and add more information to your equations. NOTE: Water can be considered an ionic compound, made of H+ and OH-, and written HOH. Phase 2: Identify States of Reactants & Products States (s, l, g, aq) of the reactants and products are very important in a chemical reaction. Use the following tips to help you o Ionic compounds are solids. o Elements’ state can be determined from the periodic table. o Acids (H+ is the cation) & bases (OH- is the anion) are typically in aqueous solution. Phase 3: Balancing Equations It is essential that all atoms are accounted for. The law of conservation of matter tells us that we must end up with the same number and type of atoms that we started with. Once formulas have been written properly, DO NOT CHANGE ANY SUBSCRIPTS. Add coefficients (numbers in front of formulas) until the number and type of atoms are equal on both sides of the equation. a. Combustion: b. Combustion: c.
