What is the general form of a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A + B -> AB, where A and B are reactants that combine to form a product AB.

Front

What is the general form of a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

AB -> A + B, where a compound AB breaks down into its components A and B.

Front

What is the general form of a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A + BC -> AC + B, where element A replaces element B in compound BC.

Front

What is the general form of a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

AB + CD -> AD + CB, where the ions of two compounds exchange places.

Front

What is the general form of a Combustion Reaction?

Back

Hydrocarbon + O_2 -> CO_2 + H_2O, where a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
