Given 4Na +02 --> 2Na2O, what is the reaction type?
Because it has O2 it would be a combustion. It would also be a composition reaction. And if you look at it going from right to left it would be a decomposition reaction.
Identify the type of reaction expected for each of the following pairs of reactants.?
Ca(NO3)2(aq) + (NH4)2SO4(aq) 4. no reaction Br2(aq) + NaF(aq) 4. no reaction Cl2(g) + RbI(aq) 2. oxidation reduction KNH2(aq) + H2S(aq) probably 3. acid base Ca(s) + H2O(l) 2. oxidation reduction
Identify each reaction Help!!!!!!?
1. Redox reaction; Mg is oxidized, H is reduced. 2. Neutralization reaction; you are reacting an acid (HNO3) with a base (KOH) to form a salt (KNO3) and water 3. Precipitation reaction; the reactants form a precipitate (solid), PBr2. 4. Neutralization reaction; reaction involves an acid-base interaction to form a salt (CaCl2) and water.
CH2FCOOH+H2O→CH2FCOO−+H3O+?
1. In the given reaction in aqueous solution, identify which of the reactants is the acid. 2. In the given reaction in aqueous solution, identify which of the reactants is the base. 3. In the given reaction in aqueous solution, identify the conjugate base of the acid. 4. In the given reaction in aqueous solution, identify the conjugate acid of the base.
Can you help me how to determine the type of reaction in organic chemistry?
you can tell the reaction by identifying the movements of the electrons. eventually through practice you'll be able to determine the type of reaction. besides, the different organic compounds react has specific types of reaction. by a nucleophile: electron rich. hence it gives away electrons freely to electron deficient. there's normally a minus sign attached to it. by an electrophile: electron deficient. attacks electron rich bonds like double bonds, causing it to break. there's normally a positive sign attached to it. look out for double bonds, it's most likely a electrophilic reaction. free radical has a lone electron paired to it, formed when there's a homolytic fission of let's say chlorine. normally used in reactions with uv light, where there are 3 steps: Initiation, Propagation and Termination. Unless a radical reacts with another radical, the reaction will not stop. Elimination is removing the designated atom or molecule from a compound, for eg in dehydration, water is removed and in dehydrogenation, hydrogen gas is removed. there are many more and you can check on wikipedia or surf the web for more information. usually i identify them by circling out the change in the compound and noting what's been removed or added. you'll be able to tell the reaction from that. hope it helps. :)
What characteristics identify each type of chemical reaction?
Think of these reactions as being dancing couples ("compounds") or single dancers ("elements") DC dancer + dancer = dancing couple (maybe true love will bloom??) D dancing couple = dancer + dancer (song is over and they each go for a snack!) SR dancing couple + dancer = New dancing couple + dancer (someone stole your partner - RATS!!) DR couple + couple + NEW couple + new couple (like square dancing - everyone always has a partner, they just change around) Now... let's try yours a) looks like they'd like to dance!! = DC b) someone is about to steal away a partner = SR c) everyone still wants to dance = DR d) boo hoo - we're breaking up = D Good luck!
How can you determine a catalyst for a given reaction?
This is one of the fields of inorganic chemistry. There are many things you need to understand about a catalyst to know what it will do.First, when you state that the “catalyst doesn’t specifically react”, that’s the wrong way to think about it. It does react! That’s what makes it an effective catalyst. However, the other part about being a catalyst is that it needs to be recovered after the reaction, or at least turn over the reaction many, many times before being consumed.For many catalysts, yes, it’s a little bit of trial and error. However, once we understand the mechanism of how these catalysts are involved in the reaction, we can then “tune” them to work better or use them as catalysts for completely different reactions. Many clues are taken from biochemistry. For example, you might find that a particular enzyme from an almond will do a specific reaction that adds a stereo-center to a molecule and results in only one enantiomer. That’s a useful catalyst! If that enzyme was expensive to isolate/produce, one might try to build analogs using pure organometallic synthetic methods.In any case, take an inorganic chemistry class. The basics you learn there will introduce new ideas that you may not have gotten from organic chemistry. The d-orbitals in transition metals are fascinating things. For example, you’ll learn about how carbon monoxide can bond to a metal and one of that metal’s electron-filled d-orbitals overlaps with carbon monoxide’s anti-bonding pi molecular orbital, thus weakening the C-O bond. If that bond is weakened, it is more susceptible to being broken in another reaction.
Identify a product, reactant and a substrate if given a chemical reaction?
In chemistry, a substrate is a reactant acted upon by an enzyme (a protein that makes the reaction run faster). Reactants are the starting materials of a reaction and will always be on the left side of the equation. The products will be on the right side. Some examples are: CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O the oxidation of methane (CH4 is a reactant) to carbon dioxide (CO2 is a product). Oxygen is also a reactant and water is another product. C6H12O6 --hexokinase--> C6H12O6PO4 The conversion of glucose (substrate) to glucose-6-phosphate (product) with hexokinase (an enzyme) in the glycolysis pathway.
