Chemical equations single-displacement reactions

Sigma (a) bonds Sigma bonds have the orbital overlap on a line drawn between the two nuclei, simple cubic unit cell The simple cubic unit cell has particles located at the corners of a simple cube, single displacement (replacement) reactions Single displacement reactions are reactions in which atoms of an element replace the atoms of another element in a compound, solid A solid is a state of matter that has both a definite shape and a definite volume, solubility product constant (/ p) The solubility product constant is the equilibrium constant associated with sparingly soluble salts and is the product of the ionic concentrations, each one raised to the power of the coefficient in the balanced chemical equation, solute The solute is the component of the solution that is there in smallest amount, solution A solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture composed of solvent and one or more solutes. 

You already know that some metals are more reactive than others. You may also have carried out an investigation on the metal activity series in a previous course. In Investigation 10-A, located on page 470, you will discover how this series is related to oxidation and reduction. You will write chemical equations, ionic equations, and half-reactions for the single displacement reactions of several metals. 

Predict whether each of the following single displacement reactions will occur. If so, write a balanced chemical equation, a balanced net ionic equation, and two balanced half-reactions. Include the physical states of the reactants and products in each case. 

You have seen that the single displacement reaction of zinc with copper(II) sulfate is a redox reaction, represented by the following chemical equation and net ionic equation. 

Each of the following incomplete equations represents a single displacement reaction. Copy each equation into your notebook, and write the products. Balance each chemical equation. When in doubt, use the most common valence. 

Using the activity series, write a balanced chemical equation for each single displacement reaction. If you predict that there will be no reaction, write NR. ... 

The following equations represent reactions used by the U.S. chemical industry. Classify each with respect to the following categories combination reaction, decomposition reaction, and single-displacement reaction. 

These reactions are part of a larger category of reactions known as redox reactions (redox is short for oxidation-reduction). Sometimes these are called displacement reactions. These are chemical reactions in which atoms of one element replace the atoms of a second element in a compound. A general equation for a single-replacement reaction involving a metal (A), replacing a metallic cation in solution (B) is ... 

Classify each reaction as synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, or combustion. Also, balance each chemical equation.
