The Lab To End All Labs

I KID.

Speaking of bread, our lab has nothing to do with them!
Lab 5B: Types of Chemical Reactions
With this lab, we observe:
synthesis: A + B -> AB
decomposition: AB -> A + B
single replacement: AB + X -> A +XB (a metal with a metal, or a non-metal with a non-metal)
double replacement: AB +XY -> AY +XB
NOW, allow me to take you on an adventure through a lab with thrills, chills, and wow-we-have-a-lot-of-commas!
For those who were unable to be here on lab day, I suggest you read the following:
heated copper wires
Reaction 1

  • Burning a copper wire with a bunsen burner









nail in copper sulphate
Reaction 2
  • Placing an iron nail into Copper(II)Sulphate(L)








Reaction 3
  • Heating some Copper(II)Sulphate(S)










Reaction 4
  • Adding water to the heated Copper(II)Sulphate








Reaction 5
  • Placing CalciumChloride(L) into SodiumCarbonate(L)











Reaction 6

  • Placing mossy Zinc into hydrochloric acid






Reaction 7
  • Adding Manganesse(IV)Oxide(S) into hydrogen peroxide(L)
  • Test gas with glowing splint


Make sure you use any safety equipment necessary. If you have any appendages burned, clothes destroyed, or mind frazzled; I am not liable for any of it. ANY OF IT. 
Figure out which type of chemical reaction belongs to which reaction in this lab. As this is practice, and you should now have a better understanding of chemical reactions
Complete your lab report and hand it in. I recommend you hand it in for the betterment of your mind. Unless, you want to 'say no to the man', but there is no man. So you can't say no.


QUIZ TIME: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Style!
and luck to all our Egyptian friends, who can say no to the man! 
dictatorship is going down!
