Types of Chemical Reactions

Front

What is a combustion reaction?

Back

A combustion reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What type of reaction is represented by the equation: Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2?

Back

This is a single replacement reaction.

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form one product.

Front

Identify the type of reaction: Pb + FeSO4 -> PbSO4 + Fe.

Back

This is a single displacement reaction.

Front

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

A decomposition reaction is a chemical reaction where one reactant breaks down into two or more products.

Front

What is a double displacement reaction?

Back

A double displacement reaction is a type of reaction where two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds.

Front

What is the general form of a combustion reaction?

Back

The general form is: Hydrocarbon + O2 -> CO2 + H2O.

Front

What distinguishes a single replacement reaction from other types?

Back

In a single replacement reaction, one element replaces another in a compound.
