LCM and Reaction Types

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 more complex product.

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 single replacement reaction?

Back

A single replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound.

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.

Front

What is the general form of a synthesis reaction?

Back

A + B → AB, where A and B are reactants that combine to form product AB.

Front

What is the general form of a decomposition reaction?

Back

AB → A + B, where 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 anions and cations of two different compounds exchange places.

Front

How do you calculate the mass of a product in a chemical reaction?

Back

Use the law of conservation of mass: mass of reactants = mass of products.

Front

What is the molar mass of FeCl3?

Back

The molar mass of FeCl3 is approximately 162.2 g/mol.
