AP Chemistry / Unit 4: Chemical Reactions
4.7 Types of Chemical Reactions
Notes
- Acid-base: proton transfer.
- Redox: electron transfer.
- Precipitation: an insoluble solid forms.
- Combustion of hydrocarbons gives $\mathrm{CO_2}$ and $\mathrm{H_2O}$.
Practice
$CH_4+2O_2\to CO_2+2H_2O$ is:
Burning a hydrocarbon.
Mixing two clear solutions makes a cloudy solid. This is:
An insoluble product.
$NH_3+H_2O\to NH_4^++OH^-$ is:
A proton moves from water to ammonia.
