What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds.

Front

What is a Precipitation Reaction?

Back

A reaction that results in the formation of an insoluble solid (precipitate) when two solutions are mixed.

Front

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?

Back

The principle stating that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction; the number of atoms remains the same before and after the reaction.

Front

What is an Oxidation-Reduction Reaction?

Back

A reaction involving the transfer of electrons between two species, resulting in changes in oxidation states.

Front

What is a Combustion Reaction?

Back

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

Front

What are Reactants in a Chemical Reaction?

Back
