Decomposition - Many compounds decompose in predictable patterns:
(Don't forget about HOFBrINCl!)

  1. ____NH3 ®
  2. ____H2S ®
  3. ____CaO ®
  4. ____HgO ®
  5. ____ZnS ®

[Single] Replacement - Remember that the metal has to replace another atom with a positive charge. Use your periodic table to determine what charge the "new" metal is most likely to have.

  1. ____Cu (II) + ____AgNO3 ®
  2. ____Zn + ____H2SO4 ®
  3. ____Fe(II) + ____H3PO4 ®
  4. ____Al + ____Ag2(SO4)3 ®
  5. ____Ba + ____AuSO4 ®
  6. ____Na + ____MgCl2 ®
  7. ____Pb(II) + ____Ba(NO3)2 ®
  8. ____Ba + ____FrCl ®
  9. ____Pb(II) + ____Al2(SO4)3 ®
  10. ____Ni + ____HCH3COO ®
  11. ____Ca + ____CuCl2 ®

Double Replacement - Remember that the positive ions "switch partners."

  2. ____C10H22 + ____O2 ®
  3. ____CH3OH + ____O2 ®
  4. ____C12H22O12 + ____O2 ®
