Front

What type of reaction is represented by the equation: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3?

Back

Synthesis Reaction.

Front

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A type of chemical reaction where two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product.

Front

What is a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound.

Front

What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

A type of chemical reaction where the anions and cations of two different compounds exchange places to form two new compounds.

Front

What is the general form of a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

AB → A + B, where AB is a compound that breaks down into its components.

Front

What is the general form of a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A + B → AB, where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

What is the general form of a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is the general form of a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

AB + CD → AD + CB, where the anions and cations of two different compounds exchange places.
