A chemical reaction is material changing from a beginning mass to a

resulting substance. The hallmark of a chemical reaction is that new material or
materials are made, along with the disappearance of the mass that change to
make the new one. A chemical equation is a way to describe what goes on in a
chemical reaction, the actual change in a material. When a chemical reaction
occurs, it can be described by an equation. (Sanchez, 2011)
There are numerous ways of classifying chemical reaction, all of which are
useful for particular purposes. Knowing the different types of reaction allows the
chemist to predict the products of the reactions of different substances.

TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTION

Combination Reaction
o Reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a more
complex substance.
o Also known as synthesis reaction
o This type of reaction is represented by the following equation:
A + B  AB
Example:

2 Ca(s) + O2(g)  2 CaO (s)

N2 (g) + 2 H2 (g)  2 NH3 (g)
MgO (s) + H2O  Mg(OH)2 (s)

Decomposition Reaction
o This type of chemical reaction can be caused by three factors – heat,
light, electricity.
o Thermal decomposition – reaction caused by rise in temperature (heat,
denoted by ∆)
o Photochemical decomposition – decomposition reaction caused by
light.
o Electrolytic decomposition – electrically induced decomposition.
Example:
Thermal Decomposition
2 HgO (s) 2 Hg (s) + O2 (g)
2 KMnO4 (s) K2MnO4 (s) + Mn2 (g) + O2 (g)
 Activity Series
Metals Halogens
Lithium (Li) Fluorine (F)
Photochemical Decomposition
Potassium (K) Chlorine (Cl)
2 AgBr (s) 2 Ag(s) + Br2 (s)
Barium (Ba) Bromine (Br)
Calcium (Ca) Iodine (I)
Electrolytic Decomposition
Sodium (Na)
2 NaCl (l) 2 Na (l) + Cl2 (g)
Magnesium (Mg)
PbBr2 (aq) Pb (s) + Br2 (aq)
Aluminum (Al)
Substitution Reaction Manganese (Mn)
o Also known as single replacement Zinc (Zn)
o C + AB  CB + A – representational Chromium (Cr)
equation Iron (Fe)
o In substitution reaction, a more reactive Cobalt (Co)
element replaces a less reactive element Nickel (Ni)
in the compound. Tin (Sn)
Lead (Pb)
Example Hydrogen (H)
Fe (s) + CuSO4 (aq)  FeSO4 (aq) + Cu (s) Copper (Cu)
2 Na (s) + 2 H2O (l)  2 NaOH (aq) + H2 (g) Silver (Ag)
Zn (s) + 2 HCl (aq)  ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) Mercury (Hg)
Platinum (Pt)
Double Replacement Gold (Au)
o In a double replacement reaction, parts
of two compounds switch places to form new two compounds.
o Two reactants yield two products.
o AB + CD  AD + BC
o A reaction between a base such as NaOH, KOH, or Ca(OH)2 in
aqueous solution and an acid such as HCl, H2SO4, or CH3COOH. Such
reaction is known as neutralization.
HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq)  NaCl (aq) + H2O (aq)
H2SO4 (aq) + 2 KOH (aq)  K2SO4 (aq) + 2 H2O (aq)
o A reaction between solutions of two soluble salts, a soluble salts and an
acid, or a soluble salt and an alkali which, by exchanging cations and
anions, can produce one insoluble compound (precipitate) or gas.
NaCl (aq) + AgNo3 (aq)  NaNo3 (aq) + AgCl (s)
Na2CO3 (aq) + 2 HCl (aq)  2 NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (gas)

Answer: CuCO3  CuO + CO2
c. Substitution Reaction
Mg + HCl  ___________
Answer: 2 Mg + 2 HCl  2 MgCl + H2
d. Double Replacement Reaction
AgNO3 + BaCl2 _________
Answer: AgNO3 + BaCl2  AgCl2 + BaNO3
 B. Predict the products, balance the resulting equations, and identify the
type of chemical reactions.

2. K + MgCl2 
3. CaCO3 
4. K2SO4 + Al 
5. FeBr2 + Cl2 

Answer:
1. BaCl2 + 2 NaOH  Ba(OH)2 + 2 NaCl – double replacement
2. 2 K + MgCl2 2 KCl + Mg – single replacement
3. CaCO3  CaO + CO2 – decomposition reaction
4. K2SO4 + Al+3  no reaction, single replacement
5. FeBr2 + Cl2  FeCl2 + Br2 – single replacement

V. Assessment Proper

the balanced chemical reaction between solid sodium and solid sulfur
produces solid sodium sulfide.
Answer:
2 Na (s) + S  Na2S
2. Solid calcium chloride is used to reduce dust on roads and mines. When
calcium chloride is heated to a sufficiently high temperature, it produces
solid calcium and chlorine gas. Write the balanced chemical equation for
this reaction.
Answer:
CaCl2 --------> Ca(s) + Cl2 (g)
3. Sodium is above silver in the activity series. Will sodium metal react with
silver nitrate (AgNO3) to form sodium nitrate (NaNO3)? If so, write the
balanced chemical reaction.
Answer
Na + AgNO3  NaNO3 + Ag
