Two main reaction categories in aqueous solutions

Ion exchange reactions and redox reactions

Driving force in chemical reactions

Formation of precipitate, gas, or electron transfer

Ion exchange reaction definition

Positive ions exchange their respective negative ions

Three types of ion exchange reactions

Precipitation, gas forming, acid-base reactions

Product of gas forming reactions

Gas (e.g., CO2CO_2) instead of solid precipitate

Products of acid-base reactions

Water and an ionic compound (salt)

What redox reactions involve

Transfer of electrons between chemical species

Oxidation means

Loss of electrons (becomes more positive)

Reduction means

Gain of electrons (becomes more negative)

Observable sign of gas forming reaction

Bubbling or effervescence in solution
