Chapter 6 is all about making predictions: what product will form? We can CLASSIFY reactions into six reaction types in chapter 6. Imagine that 😉

Let’s look at what happens in the Find Out Activity, through video (so we don’t hurt the environment and each other):
Copper (ii) Chloride with an Iron nail (@ 2 mins)
with Magnesium
with Zinc
This is just one of six reactions we’ll learn about, called a Single Replacement Reaction (or SR for short), as explained by “this” guy:
And there are five more in this chapter!
Synthesis Reactions (2 reactants form a product: here it’s chlorine with sodium to make sodium chloride (table salt)!
Decomposition Reactions: Hydrogen Peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen (using Potassium Iodide as a catalyst, famously called “elephant toothpaste”)…
Double Replacement reactions:Â an example here of Lead Nitrate with Potassium Iodide –> predict the products!!
Neutralization reactions: ( we did this in Chapter 5 )
Quick demo out of Berkley
Everything you wanted to know about neutralization reactions and then some!!
and finally, Combustion reactions (we can do this one just before XMAS, anyone got some DAWN??!!) –> three more videos, just for fun…
Funny! this guy’s lips don’t match his talking!!!
