Front

What type of reaction occurs when ions in two compounds switch places?

Back

Double Replacement Reaction

Front

What type of reaction is represented by the equation: 3 Pb + 2 H₃PO₄ → 3 H₂ + Pb₃(PO₄)₂?

Back

Single Replacement Reaction

Front

Define a synthesis reaction.

Back

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

What is the difference between a single displacement reaction and a double displacement reaction?

Back

In a single displacement reaction, one element replaces another in a compound, while in a double displacement reaction, two compounds exchange ions.
