This activity focuses on an understanding of these chemical reaction types in a straight foreward way. A chance to let students see realistic reactions and do them.

Directions: Students should get into pairs and work together on which reaction type ocurred.

Chemical Reaction Types

Name_____________________                                     Section_____________

Identify the following chemical equations by type.

1.  C4H8 + 6O2 ---> 4CO2 + 4H2O



2. HCl + NaOH ---> H2O + NaCl
3.  2KNO3(s) ---> 2KNO2(s) + O2(g)



4. AgNO3 + NaCl ---> NaNO3 + AgCl
5.  2Mg + O2 ---> 2MgO 



6.  2Ag + S ---> Ag2S
7.  MgCO3(s) ---> MgO(s) + CO2(g)



8.  Cl2 + 2KBr ---> 2KCl + Br2
