Predicting Products Practice!
1. Synthesis Reaction Predict the product of the
reaction between Magnesium metal (Mg) and
Nitrogen gas (N2). Balance the final equation.
Hint: Magnesium forms a +2 ion and
Nitrogen forms a -3 ion.
2. Decomposition Reaction If Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) undergoes a decomposition reaction, what two
elemental products will be formed? Write and balance the equation.
3. Single Replacement (Metal) Predict the products for the reaction:
Zn(s) + CuCl2(aq) → ________.
If the reaction will not occur based on the activity series, write "No Reaction."
4. Double Replacement Predict the products for the reaction between aqueous Silver nitrate (AgNO3)
and Sodium chloride (NaCl). One of the products is a precipitate; identify it using the term "solid."
5. Hydrocarbon Combustion Predict the products for the combustion of Butane (C4H10) in the presence
of Oxygen (O2). Balance the resulting equation.
6. The "No Reaction" Scenario Consider a reaction between MgCl2 and I2. Explain why a single
replacement reaction between a less active halogen (like Iodine) and a more active halogen (like
Chlorine) would result in "No Reaction."
7. Solubility and Precipitates
You are given two aqueous solutions: Potassium sulfate (K2SO4) and Barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2).
●​ A. Predict the products.​
●​ B. Based on your knowledge of chemical evidence, what physical change would you observe in
the beaker?​
8. State Symbols Challenge Write the balanced equation for the reaction of Solid Calcium (Ca) with
Water H2O. Predict the products and include the correct symbols for state of matter: (s), (l), (g), or (aq).
9. Identifying Reaction Types from Words
A student mixes aqueous Sodium carbonate with aqueous Calcium chloride. A white "cloudiness"
appears.
●​ A. Predict the chemical formulas of the products.
●​ B. Classify this reaction type.
