What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. For example, in the reaction @@ ext{A} + ext{B} ightarrow ext{AB}@@, A and B combine to form AB.

Which element can be replaced by chlorine in a single replacement reaction?

Back

Bromine can be replaced by chlorine.

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A single replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. For example, in the reaction @@ ext{A} + ext{BC} ightarrow ext{AC} + ext{B}@@, A replaces B in the compound.

Front

Will a single replacement reaction occur if aluminum is added to iron(III) chloride?

Back

Yes, a single replacement reaction will occur.

Front

Will a single replacement reaction occur if lead is added to zinc sulfate?

Back

No, a single replacement reaction will not occur.

Front

Will a single replacement reaction occur if copper is added to zinc sulfate?

Back

No, a single replacement reaction will not occur.

Front

What is the activity series in chemistry?

Back

The activity series is a list of metals arranged in order of decreasing reactivity. It helps predict whether a single replacement reaction will occur.

Front

What is the general form of a double replacement reaction?

Back

The general form of a double replacement reaction is @@ ext{AB} + ext{CD} ightarrow ext{AD} + ext{CB}@@, where two compounds exchange components.

Front

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. For example, @@ ext{AB} ightarrow ext{A} + ext{B}@@.
