Front

What is the general form of a decomposition reaction?

Back

AB → A + B

Front

Define decomposition reaction.

Back

A reaction in which a single compound breaks down to form two or more products. Example: AB → A + B

Front

How many atoms of Hydrogen are in H₂O₂ on the reactant side?

Back

Front

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A chemical change involving an exchange of positive ions between two compounds. Example: AB + CD → AD + BC

Front

What is the general form of a combustion reaction?

Back

Hydrocarbon + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Front

What is the definition of a combustion reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction that occurs when a substance combines with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of light or heat.

Front

What is the difference between synthesis and decomposition reactions?

Back

Synthesis reactions combine two or more substances to form a new compound, while decomposition reactions break down a single compound into two or more products.

Front

What is the general form of a single replacement reaction?
