Reaction Type Flip Book
You will get to use this on the reaction type quiz,
so be complete!
1. Using 3 sheets of plain paper, make a 6 –tab
flip book. See example.
2. Label the tabs as shown.
Single Replacement
Double Replacement
Synthesis/Combination
Decomposition
Combustion

Content
• On each tab include the following…
– Description of reaction type
– At least one example of reaction type (chemical
equation) from question 22 on page 224.
• Flow Chart
– The last tab will be a flow chart that will allow you
to determine the reaction type.

Grizzly Period moved to fifth period.
All Freshmen in Focus and other interested Freshmen will go to the College and Career Fair during Grizzly Period
with an assignment from their Focus teacher as a ticket back to class.
Juniors will attend the Fair during 5th period with a completed worksheet as their evidence of attendance for your
class.
Seniors will attend during 6th Period. They too should have a completed worksheet.
If nearly all of your class is a Junior or Senior group please plan to attend the fair with your entire class. If only a few
are upperclass students then keep your group and send the individuals. Their absence should be treated like a
field trip.
Activity Series of Metals Lab
Purpose: To determine which metals are more
reactive.
Procedure:
Fill 5 wells with Copper Nitrate.
Put 5 similar sized metals in each and observe at
1, 5 and 15 minutes. Record observations.
Clean plates and repeat with 3 remaining
solutions. * Lead Nitrate, Zinc Nitrate,
Magnesium Nitrate

Activity Series Lab Questions
1. In which solutions did the appearance of the
metals change?
2. Write balance equations for 6 of the
reactions.
3. What type of reaction was illustrated in this
lab?
4. Based on the results of your lab, write an
activity series for the metals you tested.
Rank/list them from most reactive to least
reactive.
Single Replacement Definition
Single Replacement reaction – A single element
takes the place of an element in a compound.
A + BC  B + AC
Mg + 2HCl  H2 + MgCl2
+

+
Double Replacement Definition
Double Replacement reaction – Elements in 2
compounds switch places to form 2 new
compounds.
AB + CD  AD + CB
NaOH + HCl NaCl+ H2O
+

+
Decomposition Definition
Decomposition reaction – A single compound is
broken down into 2 or more products.
AB  A + B
H2O  H2 + O2

+
Synthesis Definition
Synthesis reaction – 2 substances are
combined to form a single product
A + B  AB
Fe + O2  Fe2O3
+

Combustion Definition
Combustion reaction – Hydrogen or a
hydrocarbon (H and C) burn in oxygen to produce
water and carbon dioxide. Heat is given off as
energy.
C8H18 + O2  H2O + CO2
