What is the general formula for a Double Replacement reaction?

Back

AB + CD --> CB + AD

Front

What are products in a chemical reaction?

Back

Products are the substances that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction, located to the right of the arrow in a chemical equation.

Front

Identify the type of reaction: 2 NaBr + 1 Ca(OH)2 --> 1 CaBr2 + 2 NaOH

Back

Double displacement reaction.

Front

Identify the type of reaction: 3 HBr + 1 Al(OH)3 --> 3 H2O + 1 AlBr3

Back

Double displacement reaction.

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. Example: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O.

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. Example: 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2.

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A single replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: Zn + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2.

Front

What is a combustion reaction?

Back

A combustion reaction is a type of chemical reaction that occurs when a substance combines with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. Example: CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O.

Front

What is the difference between reactants and products?

Back

Reactants are the starting substances in a chemical reaction, located to the left of the arrow, while products are the substances formed, located to the right.
