Day 8 Homework | Types of Chemical Reactions

Front

What is a combustion reaction?

Back

A combustion reaction occurs when a substance reacts quickly with oxygen, producing heat and light, typically resulting in carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What type of reaction is characterized by one reactant breaking down into multiple products?

Back

Decomposition reaction.

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A synthesis reaction, also known as a combination reaction, occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

What type of reaction involves two reactants and produces one product?

Back

Combination/Synthesis reaction.

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A single replacement reaction occurs when one element replaces another element in a compound.

Front

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A double replacement reaction occurs when the ions of two compounds exchange places in an aqueous solution to form two new compounds.

Front

What is the general equation for a combustion reaction?

Back

Fuel + O2 → CO2 + H2O + Energy (heat)
