Types of Chemical Reactions Flashcard Review

Front

What type of chemical reaction is represented by the equation: Na2S + HCl -> NaCl + H2S?

Back

Double Replacement Reaction

Front

What occurs during a combustion reaction?

Back

A compound reacts with oxygen to produce heat and new products, typically CO2 and H2O.

Front

What type of reaction is represented by the pattern: A + B -> AB?

Back

Synthesis Reaction

Front

What happens during a double replacement reaction?

Back

Two reactants exchange cations or anions to yield new products.

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A reaction where one ion or atom replaces another in a compound.

Front

Define a synthesis reaction.

Back

A reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products.

Front

What is the general form of a combustion reaction?

Back

Fuel + O2 -> CO2 + H2O + energy.

Front

What distinguishes a single replacement reaction from a double replacement reaction?

Back

Single replacement involves one element replacing another, while double replacement involves the exchange of ions between two compounds.

Front

Provide an example of a synthesis reaction.

Back

2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O.
