Chemical Reactions Flashcards
First type of synthesis reaction
Elements as reactants will combine together
Second type of synthesis reaction
Non Metal oxides react with water to produce oxyacids
Third type of synthesis reactions
Metal oxides react with water to produce metal hydroxides
First type of decomposition reaction
Binary compounds split into elements
Second type of decomposition reaction
Metal nitrates break into metal nitrite releasing oxygen gas
Third type of decomposition reactions
Metal carbonates break into metal oxide and co2
Combustion reactions
Combustion of hydrocarbons ( fossil fuels )
Complete combustion
More than enough oxygen present
Co2 and water produced
Incomplete combustion
Not enough oxygen present
Carbon carbon monoxide co2 and water produced
Single displacement reactions
Metal displacing metal in aq ionic compound
( if metal is more reactive)
Metal displacing hydrogen from acids
( if on acids arrow)
Metal displacing hydrogen from water
( if on cold water arrow)
Halogen reacting with ionic compound
( if halogen is more reactive )
Double displacement reactions
Two aqueous ionic compounds
Formation of precipitate
Formation of water
Formation of carbonic acid
