Consolidation Work –

Classify each of the following reactions as synthesis (S), decomposition (D), single displacement (SD) or double
displacement (DD).

Reaction Classification
Copper chloride + zinc -> zinc chloride and copper
Aluminum + oxygen -> aluminum oxide
Aluminum fluoride + bromine -> aluminum bromide + fluorine
Lead (II) nitrate + calcium iodide -> lead (II) iodide + calcium nitrate
Nickel sulfide -> nickel + sulfur
Lead + bromine -> lead bromide
Sodium sulfide + barium hydroxide -> sodium hydroxide + barium sulfide
Tin iodide -> tin + iodine
NiI2 + F2 -> NiF2 + I2
K + H2O -> KOH + H2
Cu + AgNO3 -> Cu(NO3)2 + Ag
HgO -> Hg + O2
Ba + Cl2 -> BaCl2
H2S + LiOH -> Li2S + H2O
