What is a combustion reaction?

Back

A combustion reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs when a substance (usually a hydrocarbon) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. The general formula is: @@C_xH_y + O_2 ightarrow CO_2 + H_2O@@.

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. The general formula is: @@A + CD ightarrow C + AD@@.

What is a combination reaction?

Back

A combination reaction is a chemical reaction where two or more substances combine to form a single product. The general formula is: @@A + B ightarrow AB@@.

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

A decomposition reaction is a chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. The general formula is: @@AB ightarrow A + B@@.

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds. The general formula is: @@AB + CD ightarrow AD + CB@@.
