Types of 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 is a decomposition reaction?

Back

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products.

Front

What happens in a double replacement reaction?

Back

In a double replacement reaction, ions in two compounds switch places to form two new compounds.

Front

Identify the products of the reaction: 2NaCl → 2Na + Cl₂.

Back

The products are sodium (Na) and chlorine gas (Cl₂). This is a decomposition reaction.

Front

What is the product of the reaction between magnesium (Mg) and nitrogen (N)?

Back

The product is magnesium nitride, represented as Mg₃N₂.

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is the general equation for a combustion reaction?

Back

The general equation for a combustion reaction is: Hydrocarbon + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O.

Front

What type of reaction is represented by the equation: 3Na + FeBr₃ → 3NaBr + Fe?

Back

This is a single replacement reaction.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the general form of a decomposition reaction?

Back

The general form of a decomposition reaction is: AB → A + B, where AB is a compound that breaks down.
