CHEMICAL REACTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Chemical reactions are conveniently summarized by using chemical equations. An equation is a condensed
statement of what transpires in a chemical reaction using symbol and formulas of the elements and
compounds involved. The initial substances which participate in reaction are called reactants, while the final
substances which result are called products.
Chemical reactions on the basis of how many reactants are involved and their nature maybe classified as:
1. Combination - This is involves direct union of two or more elements or compounds to give a new
compound with an entirely new set of properties, e.g.
C + O2 CO2
Fe + S FeS
2. Decomposition – This is the breaking down of a compound into two or more simpler compounds
or elements, e.g.
2HCl H2 + Cl2
CaCO3 CaO + CO2
3. Double Replacement – This involves exchange of partners by the metallic radicals and is probably the
most common type of chemical reaction, e.g.
BaCl2 + H2SO4 BaSO4 + 2 HCl
AgNO3 + NaCl AgCl + NaNO3
4. Displacement or substitution – This involves the reaction between a compound and an element and the
replacement of a less reactive atom by a more reactive atom, e.g.
2NaBr + Cl2 NaCl + Br2
Zn + 2 HCl ZnCl2 + H2
OBJECTIVES
1. To understand the different types of reactions as it occurs in the experiment.
2. To be able to write the reaction in an equation form and be able to write balanced equations.
REAGENTS
Calcium carbonate, 0.1M hydrochloric acid, barium chloride, dilute sulfuric acid, copper (II) sulfate,
0.1M
potassium iodide, bromine water, carbon tetrachloride, magnesium ribbon
MATERIALS
Test tubes (4), test tube rack, 2 - 50 ml beakers, iron nail or staple wires, test tube holder, crucible tongs,
litmus paper, iron stand, iron ring, wire gauze, pipets, aspirator
PROCEDURE
A. Recall all the chemical reactions which you have done in the previous experiments. Write the chemical equations
and determine the type of reaction that had occurred.
B. Carry out each of the following reactions; then formulate and balance each equation. Record all visible results as
changes in color, evolution of gas, and formation of precipitate. Indicate also the type of reaction
2. Precipitate barium sulfate by adding 3 ml of barium chloride solution to 5 ml of dilute sulfuric acid solution.
3. Take some copper (II) sulfate solution in a small beaker and place some steel wool or an untarnished iron nail
in it. Carefully note the changes that take place.
4. Heat strongly a few crystals of blue vitriol copper (II) sulfate in a test tube. Observe.
5. Mix 1 mL of 0.1M potassium iodide with bromine water, then add 1 mL of carbon tetrachloride.
6. Using a pair of crucible tongs, ignite a 2-cm strip of magnesium ribbon in the Bunsen flame. Drop the burning
magnesium ribbon into a 50-mL beaker. Note the product. Add 2 mL of water and stir. Test the
resulting solution with the litmus paper.
