Answer:

The Four Major Types of Reactions

Name General Reaction Pattern

Combination or synthesis A + B ----> AB

Decomposition AB ----> A + B

Substitution or Single Replacement A + BC ----> B + AC

Metathesis or Double Displacement AB + CD ----> AD + CB

Combination or Synthesis Reactions Two or more reactants unite to form a single product.

S + O2 ---------> SO2

sulphur oxygen sulphur dioxide

2 S + 3 O2 ---------> 2 SO3

sulphur oxygen sulphur trioxide

2 Fe + O2 ---------> 2 FeO

iron oxygen iron (II) oxide

Decomposition Reactions A single reactant is decomposed or broken down into two or more

products.

CaCO3 ----------> CaO + CO2

calcium carbonate calcium oxide carbon dioxide

2 H2O -----------> 2 H2 + O2

water hydrogen oxygen

2 KClO3 -----------> 2 KCl + 3 O2

potassium chlorate potassium chloride oxygen

Substitution or Single Replacement Reactions A single free element replaces or is substituted for one of the elements in a compound. The free element is more reactive than the one its replaces.

Zn + 2 HCl ----------> H2 + ZnCl2

zinc hydrochloric acid hydrogen zinc chloride

Cu + 2 AgNO3 -----------> 2 Ag + Cu(NO3)2

copper silver nitrate silver copper (II) nitrate

H2 + 2 AgNO3 -----------> 2 Ag + 2 HNO3

hydrogen silver nitrate silver nitric acid

2 Na + 2 H2O -----------> 2 NaOH + H2

sodium water sodium hydroxide hydrogen

Metathesis or Double Displacement Reactions This reaction type can be viewed as an "exchange of partners." For ionic compounds, the positive ion in the first compound combines with the negative ion in the second compound, and the positive ion in the second compound combines with the negative ion in the first compound.

HCl + NaOH -----------> NaCl + HOH

hydrochloric sodium sodium water

acid hydroxide chloride

BaCl2 + 2 AgNO3 ----------> 2 AgCl + Ba(NO3)2

barium silver silver barium

chloride nitrate chloride nitrate

(precipitate)

CaCO3 + 2 HCl -----------> CaCl2 + H2CO3

calcium hydrochloric calcium carbonic

carbonate acid chloride acid

Explanation:

The vast number of chemical reactions can be classified in any number of ways. Under one scheme they can be categorized either as oxidation-reduction (electron transfer) reactions or non-oxidation-reduction reactions. Another completely different but common classification scheme recognizes

How many kilojoules of energy would be required to heat a 225g block of aluminum from 23.0 C to 73.5 C?

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 10.2 \ kJ}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many kilojoules of energy would be required to heat a block of aluminum.

We will use the following formula to calculate heat energy.

$q=mc \Delta T$

The mass (m) of the aluminum block is 225 grams and the specific heat (c) is 0.897 Joules per gram degree Celsius. The change in temperature (ΔT) is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature.

ΔT = final temperature - inital temperature

The aluminum block was heated from 23.0 °C to 73.5 °C.

ΔT= 73.5 °C - 23.0 °C = 50.5 °C

Now we know all three variables and can substitute them into the formula.

m= 225 g
c= 0.897 J/g° C
ΔT= 50.5 °C

$q= (225 \ g )(0.897 \ J/g \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)$

Multiply the first two numbers. The units of grams cancel.

$q= (225 \ g * 0.897 \ J/g \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)$

$q= (225 * 0.897 \ J / \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)$

$q= (201.825\ J / \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)$

Multiply again. This time, the units of degrees Celsius cancel.

$q= 201.825 \ J * 50.5$

$q= 10192.1625 \ J$

The answer asks for the energy in kilojoules, so we must convert our answer. Remember that 1 kilojoule contains 1000 joules.

$\frac { 1 \ kJ}{ 1000 \ J}$

Multiply by the answer we found in Joules.

$10192.1625 \ J * \frac{ 1 \ kJ}{ 1000 \ J}$

$10192.1625 * \frac{ 1 \ kJ}{ 1000 }$

$\frac {10192. 1625}{1000} \ kJ$

$10.1921625 \ kJ$

The original values of mass, temperature, and specific heat all have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the tneths place. The 9 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 1 up to a 2.

$10.2 \ kJ$
