Chemical Reactions

Resources on these topics pages are here to assist you in your mastery of course content. None of the work, etc, on these pages are 'required,' so to speak. It is provided for you to use as fits into your overall approach to studying for this course. 

• General and detailed objectives give you an idea of how you will be assessed over each objective and can serve as a 'study guide' of sorts

• Slides are the raw material from which I build my in-class lectures. Annotated slides will be provided after lectures on the course schedule.

• When available, Reading Guides are provided to assist you in taking and organizing notes as you read the textbook. 

• Any supplemental videos provided are produced by myself other chemistry education professionals.

• Any additional practice provided contains answer keys, so that you may check your work.

Chemical Reactions Objectives

1. Recognize, predict, and write the three common types of chemical reactions (precipitation, acid-base, and oxidation-reduction) 

Objective 1: Recognize, predict, and write the three common types of chemical reactions (precipitation, acid-base, and oxidation-reduction) 

• • Read Section 7.2 - Classifying Chemical Reactions

Memorize:

• • Memorize the solubility rules in Open Stax Table 7.1

  • Memorize the strong acids and bases in Open Stax Table 7.2

Upon successful completion of this objective you should be able to;

• • Define three common types of chemical reactions (precipitation, acid-base, and oxidation-reduction)

  • Write and balance chemical equations in molecular, total ionic, and net ionic formats.

  • Classify chemical reactions as one of these three types given appropriate descriptions or chemical equations

  • Identify common acids and bases

  • Predict the solubility of common inorganic compounds by using solubility rules

  • Compute the oxidation states for elements in compounds
