ions

24

A

sometimes

29
Q

30
Q

What is a Synthesis reaction

A

Atoms or elements that are joined together to form a new compound
Has 2 or more reactants to form ONE product

31
Q

What is the general formula of a synthesis reaction

A

a+b → ab

32
Q

What is a decomposition reaction

A

a compound or molecule breaks down into 2+ simpler atoms or elements
One reactant breaks down into 2 or more products

33
Q

What is the general formula of a decompisiton reaction

A

ab → a+b

34
Q

What is a single displacement reaction

A

One element and another element in a compound
Reactants: 1 element and 1 compound
Products: 1 different element and 1 different compound

a metal can only displace another metal/cation

a nonmetal can only displace another nonmetal/anion

35
Q

What single displacement general formula for metals and non-metals

A

Metals: AB+C → CB+A
Nonmetals: AB+C → AC+B
*don’t carry subscripts through

36
Q

Double Displacement Reactions

A

elements with 2 different compounds switch places, forming 2 new compounds
2 reactants (both compounds) and 2 products (2 different compounds)

37
Q

Double Displacement general formula

A

ab+cd → ad+cb
*always metak before nonmetal

38
Q

Hydrocarbon combustion

A

combustion is the very eapid reaction of a hydrocarbon with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy

39
Q

What are hydrocarbons

A

Compound containing mostly H & C

40
Q

Hydrocarbon combustion general formula

A

CxHy+O2 → CO2+ H2O

41
Q

Neutealization

A

Occurs when an acid and base react
When an acid and base react, the products are water and salad

eg. HCL (aq)+ NaOH (aq) → NaCl+H2O

42
Q

If there is a compound with only carbon and hydrogen what does that mean

A

it is combustion
