synthesis,displacement,and combustion Flashcards
there are only five primary synthesis reactions
haber process discovered by
Discovered by German chemists Fritz Haber, this process converts
atmospheric nitrogen (N2
) to ammonia (NH3
) in a reaction with
hydrogen (H2
) at high temperatures and pressures.
decompostion breaks down into….
into two or more simpler
compounds or elements.
–
wfive primary decompostion reactions
-binary compounds breakdown into their elements
-metal carbonates (XCO3
) → metal oxide + carbon dioxide (CO2
)
-metal chlorate (XClO3
) → metal chloride + oxygen (O2
)
-base [metal hydroxide (XOH)] → metal oxide + water (H2O)
another type of Decomposition Reactions
decomposition reaction is the breakdown
of metal hydrogen carbonates.
a combustion reaction is
is a reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen gas,
releasing energy in the form of light and heat
two types of combustion reactions
- Complete Combustion
* In this reaction a hydrocarbon is burned in plenty of oxygen.
* There are only two products in a complete combustion reaction
→ carbon dioxide and water - Incomplete Combustion
* In this reaction a hydrocarbon is burned in a limited amount of oxygen.
* This results in the formation of toxic by-products. There are four products
in an incomplete combustion reaction → carbon dioxide, water, carbon
monoxide and carbon
