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

Provide an example of a double replacement reaction.

Back

PbCl2 + AgNO3 → Pb(NO3)2 + AgCl is an example of a double replacement reaction.

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

Provide the general formula for a decomposition reaction.

Back

The general formula for a decomposition reaction is AB → A + B.

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

Provide an example of a single replacement reaction.

Back

H2SO4 + Fe → H2 + FeSO4 is an example of a single replacement reaction.

Front

What is a double displacement reaction?

Back

A double displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds react and exchange components to form two new compounds.

Front

Provide an example of a double displacement reaction.

Back

3KOH + H3PO4 → K3PO4 + 3H2O is an example of a double displacement reaction.

Front

What are the signs that a chemical reaction has occurred?

Back

Signs of a chemical reaction include color change, temperature change, gas production, and the formation of a precipitate.

Front

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

Back

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