Identifying Types of Reactions

Front

What is a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. Example: KClO3 → KCl + O2.

Front

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Example: H2 + N2 → NH3.

Front

What is a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: A + BC → AC + B.

Front

What is a Combustion Reaction?

Back

A reaction that involves the burning of a substance in the presence of oxygen, producing heat and light. Example: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O.

Front

What does 'None of these' mean in reaction types?

Back

It indicates that the reaction does not fit into the standard categories of synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, or combustion.

Front

Identify the type of reaction: K2CO3 → K2O + CO2.

Back

Decomposition.

Front

Identify the type of reaction: H2 + N2 → NH3.

Synthesis.

Front

Identify the type of reaction: BF3 + Li2SO3 → B2(SO3)3 + LiF.

Back

None of these.

Front

Identify the type of reaction: (NH2)3PO4 + Pb(NO3)4 → NH4NO3 + Pb3(PO4)4.

Back

None of these.

Front

What is the general form of a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

AB → A + B, where AB is a compound that breaks down.
