We have learned that most chemical reactions will fall into one of five categories:
- Synthesis Reactions
- Decomposition Reactions
- Single Displacement Reactions
- Double Displacement Reactions
- Combustion Reactions
Let’s predict the products of these five reactions,
1) What will be the product when aluminum and oxygen react according the following partial equation,
.
.
2) What will be the products when magnesium oxide decomposes according the following partial equation,
3) What will be the products when solid magnesium reacts with aqueous aluminum chloride according the following partial equation,
