Predicting Outcomes Chemical Reactions

1. Combination and decomposition reactions can be identified based on their typical


characteristics. Which statements best describe the characteristics of
combination and decomposition reactions? Select all that apply.

A. Combination reactions are typically exothermic and reactants are


molecular compounds of single elements.

B. Decomposition reactions are typically endothermic and the reactant is a


compound with two or more elements.

C. Combination reactions are typically endothermic and the reactant is a


compound with two or more elements.

D. Decomposition reactions are typically exothermic and reactants are


molecular compounds of single elements.

2. Based on the understanding of the mechanism of a single displacement reaction,


which of the following chemical equations represent a single displacement
reaction? Select all that apply.

A. NaCl + AgNO3 → NaNO3 + AgCl

B. Cu + AgNO3 → CuNO3 + Ag

C. 2NaBr + Cl2 → 2NaCl + Br2

D. F2 + 2NaBr → 2NaF + Br2

E. KOH + HCl → KCl + H2O


NAME DATE CLASS

3. Which of the following compounds would most likely be the reactants in a


combustion reaction?

Read the passage and use the table to answer the next two questions.

A student used the activity series of metals to predict whether or not a reaction
takes place when one metal is placed in the aqueous solution of another metal.
The activity series is shown.

*Metals from Li to Na will replace H from acids and water; from


Mg to Pb they will replace H from acids only.

4. Based on the understanding of the way the metals are placed in the activity
series, the student correctly predicted the outcome of four reactions. According to
the student, which reactions are most likely to take place? Select all that apply.
NAME DATE CLASS

A. Zn and CuSO4

B. Ag and CuSO4

C. Fe and ZnSO4

D. Mg and ZnSO4

5. When laying underground iron pipes, the pipe is usually connected to a metal
plate by a wire. The corrosive environment of the soil preferentially oxidizes the
metal plate instead of the iron pipe. The metal plate gradually corrodes away
preventing the iron pipe from rusting.
NAME DATE CLASS

The diagram shows the placement of the underground pipe and the metal plate.
Five metal plate options are shown as well as the activity series of metals.

Based on the activity series of metals shown, which set of metal plates may
prevent the iron pipe from corroding?

A. Pb, Cu

B. Mg, Cu

C. Zn, Pb, Cu

D. Zn, Al, Mg
