U4 Lesson 3 Check for Understanding

Synthesis , Decomposition Reactions & Combustion

PART ONE: Follow the steps below and predict products of Synthesis & Decomposition reactions

  1. Determine the Type/Subtype using the Guidelines on the Reference Sheet.

  2. Predict the products using the guidelines remembering to check charges on new compounds and remembering the diatomic molecules

  3. Balance the reaction.

Sa 1.      2 Al     +  3  S     → Al2S3

Da 2.      LiCl     →  Li + Cl

Sa 3.      Ca    +    F2      → CaF2

Sa 4.      2 Mg     +    O2    → 2 MgO2

D 5.      K2S    → K2 + S

D 6.       2 NCl3    → 2 N + 3 Cl2

S 7.      H2     +     I2     → H2I2

D 8.      CoP    →  Co(III) + P

D 9.     Fe2S3     →     2 Fe + 3 S

PART TWO: Follow the steps below and predict products of Combustion reactions

Combustion Reactions: Look at this model on your reference sheet.  All combustion reactions produce carbon dioxide gas and water. Be sure to balance each reaction.

C 1.            2 C4H10      +        26  O2     → 10 H2O + 8 CO2

C 2.             2 C2H6      +     4     O2               → 6 H2O + 4 CO2

C 3.        2  C2H5OH   +     2    O2               → 10 HOH + 4 CO2
