Unit 3 Identifying Types of Chemical Reactions

Front

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.

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.

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.

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 combustion reaction?

Back

A combustion reaction is a type of chemical reaction that occurs when a substance combines with oxygen, producing heat and light, typically resulting in water and carbon dioxide.

Front

What are the products of a combustion reaction involving hydrocarbons?

Back

The products of a combustion reaction involving hydrocarbons are typically water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Front

What is a mixture?

Back

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded and can be separated by physical means.

Front

What is the difference between a mixture and a compound?

Back

A mixture is a physical combination of substances, while a compound is a chemical combination of two or more elements that results in a new substance.

Front

How many atoms of carbon are in C6H12O6?

Back

There are 6 atoms of carbon in C6H12O6.

Front

What is the law of conservation of mass?

Back

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction; the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.
