Reaction Prediction and Observations

Unit 3:Types of Reactions

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 (s) -> Cu (s) + Cl2 (g) Before: After: Type: Clear, blue solution. Bubbles formed as solution was electrolyzed Red precipitate formed from the copper and chlorine became a clear gas Decomposition (If applicable: oxidized? Cl 1- reduced? Cu 2+ )

2. Zinc metal and iodine solid are mixed and react in the presence of water (water is not a reactant) Teacher demo Equation: Zn (s) +I2 (s) -> ZnI2 (aq) Before: After: Type: Grey solid pellets and flakes from Zinc and Iodine Yellowish solution formed with dark orange pellets Synthesis (If applicable: oxidized? Zn2+ reduced? I21-)

3. 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 (s) Before: conductors. After: other. Type: Yellowish solution formed with dark orange precipitate near the

Blue precipitate (Zn) forms on electrodes (one side only) and iodide formation on

Decomposition (If applicable: oxidized? I1- reduced? Zn 2+ )

4. Sodium metal is added to water. Teacher Demonstration Equation: 2Na(s) + 2H O(l) -> NaOH (aq) + H (g) Before: Silver color metal with transparent liquid. After: Type: Sparks form due to reaction of the sodium metal. Single Replacement (If applicable: oxidized? Na(s) reduced? H+ in H O)

Test for Gases For each of the following test, make additional observations of what provides a positive test for the gas produced.

5. 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) MgCl (aq) + H (g) Before: Silver shiny ribbon with transparent solution After: Bubbles formed and slight cloudiness Type:Single replacement (If applicable: oxidized? Mg reduced? H ) Test for Hydrogen gas When a lighter was held above the test tube, it made a pop sound Combustion reaction for hydrogen gas: 2H + O 2H O 6. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposes. Add some drops of potassium iodide solution to about 2cm deep hydrogen peroxide in a test tube . Equation: H O (l) -> H (g) +O (g) Before: Transparent solution After: Type: Bubbles form in yellow solution Decomposition (If applicable: oxidized? H+ (g) reduced? O+(g) )

Test for oxygen gas Yes

7. Solid copper (II) carbonate is heated and one of the resulting products is bubbled through limewater. (Teacher Demonstration). Equation: CuCO3 (s) CuO (s) + CO2 (g)

CO2 (g) + Ca(OH)2 (aq) H2O (l) + CaCO3 (s) Before: Green Powder in the test tube After: White milky solution.

Type: Decomposition and Double replacement Test for carbon dioxide gas: Lime water reacted to form a precipitate.
