6 - Chemical Reactions

Understanding chemicals (compounds) and how they behave (react) when placed together is central to the study of chemistry. It is often why everyone is first drawn to the subject -- predicting if something will go boom or if all of a sudden you see a yellow solid appear.  To be discussed:  writing/balancing chemical equations, combustion reactions, single replacement, activity series, double replacement, precipitates, solubility, complete ionic and net ionic equations.
