Reaction Prediction and Observations

U n i t 3 : Ty p e s o f R e a c t i o n s

For the following reactions, in your lab notebook a) Predict the products of the reaction and balance the equation. b) Describe the observations you would make while the reaction proceeded. c) Determine the type of reaction. If it is a redox reaction, determine what is oxidized and reduced. Eg) solid copper is added to silver nitrate solution Equation: Cu(s) + 2AgNO3 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2 (aq) BEFORE: copper is a brownish shiny metal, silver nitrate is colorless and clear solution AFTER: copper appears to disappear; crystals of shiny silver metal appear; the solution color turns to blue/green (due to the presence of Cu2+ ions) TYPE: Single Replacement/ Redox Cu is oxidized and Ag+ is reduced; 2 electrons were transferred. 1. A solution of copper (II) chloride is electrolyzed. Observe the two electrodes. Equation: CuCl2 (aq) Cu (s) + Cl2 (g) Before: copper (II) chloride is a blue-green solution.

After: the tube with the copper starts to turn brownish, the tube with the chlorine has a yellowish gas. Type: Decomposition Cl- in CuCl2 (aq) is oxidized and the Cu+2 in CuCl2 (aq) is reduced

1. Zinc metal and iodine solid are mixed and react in the presence of water (water is not a reactant) Teacher demo Equation: Zn (s) + 2I (s) ZnI2 (aq) Before: After: Type: zinc is a shiny dark grey metal, iodine is a black shiny solid zinc iodide is a white powder Synthesis (If applicable: oxidized? Zn (s) reduced? I (s)

1. Zinc iodide solution is electrolyzed. In a petri dish, dissolve a small amount of zinc iodide in 20 mL distilled water. Electrolyze the solution with the cork with 2 pins and the battery. After observing, add in 3 drops of starch solution. Equation: ZnI2 (aq) Zn (s) + I2 (g) Before: After: Type: clear yellow liquid zinc solid is a grey metal , the iodine is yellowish in the petri dish. Decomposition I in ZnI2 (aq) is oxidized and the Zn in ZnI2 (aq) is reduced

1. Sodium metal is added to water. Teacher Demonstration Equation: 2Na (s) + 2H2O (l) H2 (g) + 2NaOH (s) Before: After: Type: solid shiny cube of sodium, clear water hydrogen gas emitted (bubbles), white sodium hydroxide solid Single Replacement (If applicable: oxidized? Na (s) reduced? H+ in H2O)

Test for Gases For each of the following test, make additional observations of what provides a positive test for the gas produced. 1. Magnesium metal is added to hydrochloric acid. Sand a piece of magnesium metal. In a medium size test tube, add 2 cm of hydrochloric acid and the magnesium metal. Use your finger to close the top of the test tube while your partner lights a wooden splint. Quickly place the burning splint into the test tube without touching the liquid. Equation: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) Before: After: Type: silver shiny magnesium, clear hydrochloric acid magnesium chloride is a white powder, hydrogen gas emitted (seen from flame) Single Replacement (If applicable: oxidized? Mg (s) reduced? H+ in HCl (aq))

Test for Hydrogen gas: Flame gets stronger when in presence of pure hydrogen gas Combustion reaction for hydrogen gas: 2H2 (g)+ heat H2O (l)+ H2 (g) 1. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposes.

Add some drops of potassium iodide solution to about 2cm deep hydrogen peroxide in a test tube . Equation: 2H2O2 (l) 2H2O (l) + O2 (g) Before: After: Type: hydrogen peroxide is a clear liquid bubbling (oxygen gas), clear liquid is water Decomposition (If applicable: oxidized? H2 in H2O2 (l) reduced? O2 in H2O2)

Test for oxygen gas: Light a splint, if the flame is stronger then oxygen is present.

1. Solid copper (II) carbonate is heated and one of the resulting products is bubbled through limewater. (Teacher Demonstration). Equation: CO2 (g) + Ca(OH)2 (aq) CaCO3 (aq) + H2O (l) Before: After: Type: carbon dioxide is a gas, and lime water is a clear yellow liquid calcium carbonate is a white precipitate, and water is a clearl liquid Double-replacement (If applicable: oxidized? N/A reduced? N/A)

Test for carbon dioxide gas: Copper (II) carbonate turns into copper (II) oxide (green-blue to black)
