Acid - base reaction
Combustion reaction
a redox reaction that the reductant and the oxidant react vigorously and produces heat “(g)”.
Neutralization reaction
a specific type of acid-base reaction
reactants are an acid and base
products are often salt and water
Oxidation-reduction reaction
one or more elements involved undergo a change in oxidation number.
Precipitation reaction
