Identifying Types of Chemical Reactions

Front

What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds. Example: NaBr + Ca(OH)2 → CaBr2 + NaOH.

Front

What is a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: Cu + 2Ag(NO3) → 2Ag + Cu(NO3).

Front

What is a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. Example: 2NO2 → 2O2 + N2.

Front

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product. Example: A + B → AB.

Front

What is a Combustion Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction that occurs when a substance combines with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of light or heat. Example: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O.
