SYNTHESIS AND DECOMPOSITION Name: 1. Perform each reaction at your lab bench by following the directions. 2. Record your observations. 3. Identify the reaction as either synthesis or decomposition. SYNTHESIS REACTION: A + B AB OR DECOMPOSITION REACTION: AB > A B 4. Write a word equation for each reaction. [REACTANTS PRODUCTS] 5. Write a chemical equation using formulas for each reaction. Convert names of reactants and products to formulaelll 6. Balance the chemical equation. Procedure: Light the Bunsen burner and obtain a blue flame. Take a small piece of steel wool (Fe), hold it with crucible tongs in the inner blue flame. You are oxidizing the metal. Observations Before: Observations After: Evidence For Chemical Change: Word Equation: Balanced Chemical Equation: Type of Reaction: Procedure: Take the oxidized steel wool and add it to 50 mL of tap water in a beaker. Add a piece of red litmus paper. Observations Before: . Observations After: Evidence For Chemical Change: Word Equation: Balanced Chemical Equation: Type of Reaction:
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
