Double & Single Replacement Test

Front

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds.

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound.

Front

What are the general products of a double replacement reaction?

Back

The general products of a double replacement reaction are typically two new ionic compounds.

Front

What is the activity series of metals?

Back

The activity series of metals is a list of metals arranged in order of decreasing reactivity, used to predict whether a reaction will occur.

Front

What is the solubility rule for nitrates?

Back

All nitrates (NO3-) are soluble in water.

Front

What is the solubility rule for chlorides?

Back

Most chlorides are soluble in water, except for those of silver (Ag+), lead (Pb2+), and mercury (Hg2+).

Front

What is the solubility rule for sulfates?

Back

Most sulfates are soluble in water, except for those of barium (Ba2+), lead (Pb2+), and calcium (Ca2+).

Front

What is the significance of the state symbols (s, l, g, aq) in chemical equations?

Back

State symbols indicate the physical state of the reactants and products: (s) solid, (l) liquid, (g) gas, (aq) aqueous solution.

Front

What does 'no reaction' mean in the context of chemical equations?

Back

'No reaction' indicates that the reactants do not undergo a chemical change under the given conditions.

Front

How do you predict the products of a double replacement reaction?

Back

To predict the products, swap the cations or anions of the reactants and determine the solubility of the new compounds.
