What are the different types of chemical reactions?

This video tutorial covers four common types of chemical reactions: synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement. It explains how to identify each type based on the reactants involved. Synthesis reactions involve two reactants forming one product, while decomposition reactions involve one reactant breaking into two products. Single replacement reactions occur when one element replaces another in a compound, and double replacement reactions involve the exchange of elements between two compounds. The video emphasizes the importance of focusing on reactants to determine the reaction type and provides a helpful chart for quick identification.

Explain the process of a single replacement reaction.

What distinguishes a double replacement reaction from the other types?
