Chem - Classifying Reactions - Day 7

Front

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. Example: 2HI ⟶ H2 + I2.

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. Example: Na + Br2 ⟶ NaBr.

Front

What is a combustion reaction?

Back

A combustion reaction is a type of chemical reaction that occurs when a substance combines with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of light or heat. Example: CH4 + O2 ⟶ CO2 + H2O.

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A single replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound. Example: A + BC ⟶ AC + B.

Front

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds. Example: AB + CD ⟶ AD + CB.

Front

What is the general form of a synthesis reaction?

Back

The general form of a synthesis reaction is A + B ⟶ AB, where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

What is the general form of a decomposition reaction?

Back

The general form of a decomposition reaction is AB ⟶ A + B, where a single compound breaks down into two or more products.

Front

What is the general form of a combustion reaction?

Back

The general form of a combustion reaction is Hydrocarbon + O2 ⟶ CO2 + H2O, where a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the general form of a single replacement reaction?

Back

The general form of a single replacement reaction is A + BC ⟶ AC + B, where an element replaces another in a compound.

Front

What is the general form of a double replacement reaction?

Back

The general form of a double replacement reaction is AB + CD ⟶ AD + CB, where two compounds exchange components.
