Lab 4A: Double Replacement Reaction Lab

Balanced chemical reactions 1-5 from Lab 4A

Balanced chemical reactions 6-10 from Lab 4A

Net ionic equations 2-5 from Lab 4A

Net ionic equations 6-7 from Lab 4A

What challenged me the most this lab was getting the hang of writing the first couple of reactions. I didn't fully understand that no matter what, a double replacement occurs and the two outside and two inside elements pair up. I was also overwhelmed with the amount of rules to figure out whether the product would be a solid or an aqueous solution. However, after understanding that I had to do the double replacement, then make sure the products were neutrally charged, then change the coefficients to balance the equation, I was surprised that I finally understood how write the balanced chemical reactions, and was able to do it efficiently.
