Types of Reactions Flashcard

Front

What is a cationic single replacement reaction?

Back

A reaction where a positive ion (cation) replaces another positive ion in a compound, typically involving metals.

Front

In a cationic single replacement reaction, what type of ions trade places?

Back

Negative ions (non-metals) trade places with positive ions (metals).

Front

What type of reaction is represented by the equation: Fe3O4 + 4H₂ → 3 Fe + 4H₂O?

Back

Double Replacement reaction.

Front

What are the products of a combustion reaction?

Back

Water and carbon dioxide are the typical products of a combustion reaction.

Front

What type of reaction is represented by the equation: CaCO3 → CaO + CO₂?

Back

Decomposition reaction.

Front

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds.

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A 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 the general form of a combustion reaction?

Back

A hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the difference between single replacement and double replacement reactions?

Back

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