Types of Chemical Reactions

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A synthesis reaction, also known as a combination reaction, occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds.

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A single replacement reaction occurs when one element replaces another element in a compound, resulting in a new element and a new compound.

Front

What is a neutralization reaction?

Back

A neutralization reaction is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base that produces a salt and water.

Front

What is the general form of a synthesis reaction?

Back

The general form of a synthesis reaction is A + B → AB, where A and B are reactants that combine to form product AB.

Front

What is the general form of a double replacement reaction?

Back

The general form of a double replacement reaction is AB + CD → AD + CB, where two compounds exchange components.

Front

What is the general form of a single replacement reaction?

Back

The general form of a single replacement reaction is A + BC → AC + B, where element A replaces element B in compound BC.

Front

What is the general form of a neutralization reaction?

Back

The general form of a neutralization reaction is HA + BOH → BA + H2O, where HA is an acid and BOH is a base.

Front

What type of reaction is represented by the equation Si + S8 → Si2S4?

Back

This equation represents a synthesis (combination) reaction.

Front

What type of reaction is represented by KOH + H3PO4 → K3PO4 + H2O?

Back

This equation represents a double replacement reaction.
