Week Five: Reactions
Module Overview
We will explore how compounds react with one another to form new substances and then write balanced chemical equations to represent what is happening in a reaction. We will explore several different types of reactions including precipitation, acid-base, oxidation-reduction, and combustion reaction.
Learning Objectives
After completing this module, you will be able to:
- Write and balance a chemical equation.
- Identify the components and properties of aqueous solutions.
- Label ionic compounds as soluble or insoluble based on solubility rules.
- Write a balanced precipitation reaction given two ionic compounds as reactants.
- Write a net ionic equation representing the reaction between two ionic compounds.
- Write a balanced equation representing the reaction between an acid and a base.
- Identify the oxidized and reduced species in a reaction.
- Write and balance an equation for the combustion of a hydrocarbon.
