Identifying Types of Chemical Reactions

Front

What is a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is a Combustion Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction that occurs when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where one element replaces another in a compound.

Front

What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where the anions and cations of two different compounds switch places, forming two new compounds.

Front

What is Neutralization in chemistry?

Back

A reaction between an acid and a base that produces water and a salt.

Front

What are the reactants in the combustion of methane (CH₄)?

Back

CH₄ and O₂.

Front

What is the product of a Neutralization Reaction between HNO₃ and NaOH?

Back

NaNO₃ and H₂O.

Front

What type of reaction is represented by the equation: H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl?

Back

Synthesis Reaction.

Front

What is the general form of a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is the main characteristic of a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

Two or more reactants combine to form a single product.
