  • Describes the basics of single replacement reactions, how to identify them, predict the product and balance the chemical equation. Two examples are also shown, Mg + AgNO3 and Al + CuCl2 You can see a listing of all my videos at my website, www.stepbysteps...
    A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical change of one set of chemical substances to another. Chemical reactions encompass changes that only involve the positions of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds between atoms. In a chemical reaction there is no change to the nuclei of the atoms. They can often be described by a chemical equation. Chemical equations are used to graphically illustrate chemical reactions. They consist of the chemical formulas of the of the reactants on the left and those of the products on the right. They are separated by an arrow (→) which indicates the direction and type of the reaction. The most common types of chemical reactions are: double replacement, single replacement, combustion, decomposition and synthesis.

    • @stepbystepscience
      @stepbystepscience  8 лет назад +1

      +Rachel Ruth Gaña Because hydrogen (H) exits in nature as a diatomic molecule (H2). That is just something you have to know/memorize. …This is also true for Br2, I2, N2, Cl2, H2, O2, F2.

  • @stepbystepscience
    @stepbystepscience  9 лет назад +1

    @Laurevia lo, you can only use the criss cross method for each individual COMPOUND. For example you would use it for AlCl3. Al is +3 and Cl is -1, therefore AlCl3. Copper (Cu) is a metal and therefore an ELEMENT, you do not (actually can not) use the criss cross method for an element, nothing to cross. The formula for a pure metal is just the symbol of the element.

    In the Zn+HCl equation where did the subscript 2 come from on the product side and since Zinc is a Transition metal how do you know it's charge without a Roman numeral in the equation

    • @MegaDoc360
      @MegaDoc360 10 лет назад +6

      The 2 came beside the H, because H is a diatomic. Diatomic means that the element cannot be on its on, so instead of just being H, it has to be H2. The roman numerals mean that there is more than one charge, so the number on top of an element with the plus or minus is the charge.

    Great question....Zinc is one of the transition metals that has only one oxidation state (charge) and it is +2, silver is another and it is always +1. There are many others, for example tungsten is almost always +6. Search on the internet for a PT of ions to see others.

  • @GarbageMan144
    @GarbageMan144 7 лет назад +2

    Hello Brian, After you swap the elements into the products side, Why is there a +2 on H, & Br? Where is the two coming from? Shouldn't it be a +1? & the last equations shouldn't the Cu on the products side have a +2 not a +1? I'm little bit confused. Would be great if you let me know.

      Moe Giibz Sorry I did not respond earlier it is my son's birthday today. I do not think that I put a +2 on the H and the Br but hydrogen gas and bromine gas always exist in nature as diatomic molecules. So hydrogen gas is H2 and not just H. Does that help?

    • @stepbystepscience
      @stepbystepscience  9 лет назад

      hi li I was adding water to the reactant, so some of it was possibly steam, also it is obviously an exothermic reaction. Heat is produced and then you get steam, ash and all that other stuff. Good question.

    Great channel! Thank you so much! I am taking a chem 100 class this summer semester & I've been cramming and studying a lot better thanks to your videos!
    However, I have a question:
    In the CL2 + 2NaBr > Br2 + 2NaCl formula I was wondering why you didn't follow the A + Bx > B + Ax format. Is it because the bromine and chlorine are two nonmetals? Is this something I should look for when identifying/ predicting a single replacement reaction?
    Thank you for your help!

    • @stepbystepscience
      @stepbystepscience  9 лет назад

      Stephanie Cole Yes, there are two general types of single replacement reactions; cation and anion. The more common of the two is when a metal replaces a metal. Yes, for the reaction you mentioned it is a non metal replacing a non metal. Good luck this summer, you can find a listing of all of my videos at my website; www.stepbystepscience.com

    I don't understand how it was acceptable to modify the subscript of the Cl during the third reaction? I thought it's off limits to mess with the subscripts?

    • @stepbystepscience
      @stepbystepscience  9 лет назад +1

      +EagleLogic You may not change the subscripts when you are balancing chemical equations. But you can change the subscripts when determining the products of a chemical reaction. Al has a +3 charge and Cl has a -1 charge, so there for it takes three Cl to satisfy one Al. Cu has a +2 charge therefore it takes only two Cl to satisfy on Cu.

      Naturally hydrogen is never found on its own it has to be two hydrogen atoms because a one hydrogen has one electron which is not balanced so it covalently bonds with another hydrogen to balance out (share two electrons) .

    Hi! Question, for the second question why is Bromine have a subscript of 2?

    • @stepbystepscience
      @stepbystepscience  5 лет назад

      Same reason hydrogen gas a subscript of 2 in the first example. They are two of the elements that exist as diatomic gases. The others are Br I N Cl H O F....Think BrINClHOF. Does that help?

    • @stepbystepscience
      @stepbystepscience  7 лет назад +1

      Since the transition metals mostly do not follow a pattern, you look it up on the Internet or some PT have the common ionic charges on them

    Im confused about when to put parentheses, and when not to. And also, do the numbers of each element have to be even on both sides? In each compound? Please get back to me, i have a chemistry test tomorrow and im confused.

    • @stepbystepscience
      @stepbystepscience  10 лет назад

      To be balanced the total umber of each element must be the same on each side. Parentheses are generally used with polyatomic ions. For example Ca(OH)2 means that there 1 Ca atoms and 2 OH polyatomic ions.

    If I get your question correctly......Ba + H2SO3 = BaSO3 + H2

    I dont get it, in the question i was doing it was
    Cl2+CsBr -> ?
    I though it should be Cl2+CsBr ->ClBr+Cs
    but when I looked at the answers it said Cl2+CsBr ->CsCl+Br2
    Chlorine is a non-metal but Cesium is a metal, I still dont get how to do it, my teacher just explained inly half of it and now im stranded with homework. Plz help

    • @stepbystepscience
      @stepbystepscience  3 года назад

      The Cl and the Br are both the non-metals and they switch places in a single replacement reaction. Like replaces like....

    is there a chance that there will be no reaction, my teacher discussed that by our forgot it already, can you help me there with the activity series?

    • @stepbystepscience
      @stepbystepscience  8 лет назад +1

      Yes according to the activity series there is a chance there will be no reaction. More active metals replace less active metals. Try this website

    Hi, I've watched a couple of your videos and I'm trying to study for my chemical reactions test. I've noticed every time you bring over certain elements like oxygen and hydrogen to the product side they have a subscript of 2. do you do this with all of the seven diatomic ions?

    • @stepbystepscience

      More reactive elements replace less reactive elements.

  • @stepbystepscience
    @stepbystepscience  11 лет назад

    Hydrogen is a diatomic gas so in nature conditions it always exists as H2. This is also true for Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2), Iodine (I2) and maybe a couple others. Don't have the list right in front of me.
