Chemical reactions Flashcards
Synthesis Reaction
A synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product. Synthesis reactions release energy in the form of heat and light, so they are exothermic.
Decomposition reaction
A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds. These reactions often involve an energy source such as heat, light, or electricity that breaks apart the bonds of compounds
Combustion reaction
A combustion reaction (commonly known as burning ) is an exothermic reaction in which something reacts with oxygen. The combustion of organic compounds usually takes the form of organic compound + oxygen => water + carbon dioxide. … Combustion reactions are the classic one of the very most exothermic reaction we can have
Single displacement reaction
A single-displacement reaction, also known as a single-replacement reaction, is a type of chemical reaction where an element reacts with a compound and takes the place of another element in that compound.
precipitation reaction
a precipitate is an insoluble solid that emerges from a liquid solution. The emergence of the insoluble solid from solution is called precipitation. Often the precipitate emerges as a suspension. Precipitates can form when two soluble salts react in solution to form one or more insoluble products.
Acid-base reaction
An acid–base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base, which can be used to determine pH
