Identify the type of reaction: CH4 + O2 → H2O + CO2

Back

This is a combustion reaction.

Front

What are reactants in a chemical equation?

Back

Reactants are the substances that undergo a chemical change in a reaction, found on the left side of a chemical equation.

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.

Identify the type of reaction: Aluminum + Copper(III) Chloride → Aluminum Chloride + Copper

Back

This is a single 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

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 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 the product of a combustion reaction involving hydrocarbons?

Back

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