Identifying Types of Reactions

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A single replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound. For example: lead + magnesium nitrate → lead (II) nitrate + magnesium.

Front

What is a combustion reaction?

Back

A combustion reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs when a substance combines with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of light or heat. For example: CH3OH + O2 → CO2 + H2O.

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: Ba(HCO3)2 → BaCO3 + CO2 + H2O.

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. For example: AB + CD → AD + CB.
