Reaction Types Review Worksheet
1. For the following reactions below, write the word equations and balanced
chemical equation that includes the state of matter. Identify the reaction type.
a) Lithium metal reacts with oxygen gas to produce solid lithium oxide.
b) In an oxygen poor environment, methane gas (CH4) reacts with oxygen gas to
produce solid carbon, carbon monoxide gas, carbon dioxide gas, and water
vapour.
c) Aqueous aluminum carbonate reacts with aqueous copper (II) chloride to produce
aqueous aluminum chloride and solid copper (II) carbonate.
d) Aqueous sulfuric acid reacts with aqueous magnesium hydroxide to produce
liquid water and aqueous magnesium sulphate.
e) Liquid hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposes with the aid of a catalyst to
produce hydrogen gas and oxygen gas.
f) Copper metal reacts with aqueous silver nitrate to produce a silver precipitate and
aqueous copper (II) nitrate.
g) Liquid Hexane (C6H12) reacts in an environment with plenty of oxygen gas to
produce carbon dioxide gas and water vapour.
h) Nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas to produce ammonia gas (nitrogen
trihydride).
