SUMMARY: Key Concepts from “Types of Reactions” (Kotz Ch. 4)
- Classes of reactions: precipitation
oxidation-reduction
acid-base
gas-forming
- Ionic versus non-ionic compounds
- Solubility guidelines: Kotz, p. 168
- Oxidation Number rules: Kotz, p. 191
- Acid/base types: Arrhenius, Br rnsted- Lowry
- Typical chemistry of halogens
- Some reactions PROCEED TO COMPLETION
e.g. precipitation, gas forming, strong acid/strong base
- Some reactions establish an EQUILIBRIUM of reactants and products
e.g. oxidation-reduction, weak acids, weak bases
LEARN TO BALANCE CHEMICAL EQUATIONS
- both MASS and CHARGE balance are important
