Classifying Chemical Reactions

Front

What is a double displacement reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is the general form of a single replacement reaction?

Back

A + BC → B + AC, where an element replaces another in a compound.

Front

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

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

Front

What are the products of the reaction: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2?

Back

Water (H2O) and Oxygen (O2). This is a decomposition reaction.

Front

What is the product of the double displacement reaction NaOH + CaBr2?

Back

Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2).

Front

What type of reaction is represented by: 2 RbNO3 + BeF2 → Be(NO3)2 + 2 RbF?

Back

Double replacement reaction.

Front

What is the definition of a synthesis reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is the outcome of the reaction Ag + CuNO3?

Back

No reaction occurs.

Front

What is the role of a catalyst in a chemical reaction?

Back

A catalyst speeds up a reaction without being consumed in the process.

Front

What is the difference between a single replacement and a double replacement reaction?

Back

In single replacement, one element replaces another in a compound; in double replacement, two compounds exchange ions.
