types of reactions

Front

What is a Double Replacement reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where ions in two compounds switch places to form two new compounds.

Front

What is an example of a chemical change?

Back

Using magnesium to displace hydrogen gas from water.

Front

What is the generalized equation for a synthesis reaction?

Back

A + B → AB.

Front

What type of reaction is represented by the equation Al(OH)3 → Al2O3 + H2O?

Back

Decomposition reaction.

Front

What is a Double Displacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where ions from two compounds exchange places to form two completely new compounds.

Front

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A type of reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

What is a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products.

Front

What is a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound.

Front

What is the difference between a Double Replacement and a Double Displacement reaction?

Back

They are essentially the same; both involve the exchange of ions between two compounds.

Front

What is an example of a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

The formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O.
