Five Types of Reactions

Front

What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds. Example: BaCl₂ + MgSO₄ → BaSO₄ + MgCl₂.

Front

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A type of reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Example: SO₂ + O₂ → SO₃.

Front

What is a Combustion Reaction?

Back

A reaction that occurs when a substance combines with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of light or heat. Example: C₈H₁₈ + O₂ → H₂O + CO₂.

Front

What is a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: Ca + HOH → H₂ + Ca(OH)₂.

Front

What is a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. Example: 2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂.
