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: @@H_2 + O_2 ightarrow H_2O@@.

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: @@2H_2O ightarrow 2H_2 + O_2@@.

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. Example: @@Zn + 2HCl ightarrow ZnCl_2 + H_2@@.

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where the anions and cations of two different compounds exchange places, forming two new compounds. Example: @@Na_3PO_4 + 3KCl ightarrow 3NaCl + K_3PO_4@@.

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 or heat. Example: @@CH_4 + 2O_2 ightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O@@.
