Single Replacement Reactions

Here is a helpful video concerning single replacement reactions, in which one elemental element kicks out the cation of a compound leaving the cation elemental. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhmTXdOKTBo

Double Replacement Reactions

For a double replacement reaction, the metal cation of one compound swaps with the metal cation of another compound.  Here is a helpful link with some tips about the driving http://webpages.charter.net/mcable/tables/drivingforces.pdf

Today we predicted products formed in chemical reactions. We predicted whether a reaction would or would not occur, and what the solid formed was. This required knowledge of solubility rules, and the reactivity series. Below are some pictures.

Here we were taking pictures of the well plate containing the products formed from the reactions.
