TYPE OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS Flashcards
2 or more reactants combine to form a single product
Combination (Synthesis) Reaction
general formula: A+B —–> AB
what chemical reaction?
Combination Reaction
a single reactant breaks down into simpler ones
DECOMPOSITION REACTION
one element replaces another element from a compound, the more active element take the place of the less active element in a compound
SINGLE DISPLACEMENT REACTION
the positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) of different compounds switch places, forming 2 entirely different compounds
DOUBLE DISPLACEMENTS
this is when oxygen combines with a hydrocarbon to form a water and carbon dioxide
COMBUSTION REACTION
this is a special kind of double displacement reaction that takes place when an acid and base reacts with the OH- of the base forming water. The other product is salt.
ACID-BASED REACTION
AB —–> A+B
DECOMPOSITION REACTION
A+BC —–> AC+B
SINGLE DISPLACEMENT
AB+CD —–> AD+CB
DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT
C4 H10 + O2 —–> CO2 + H2O
COMBUSTION REACTION
HCl + NaOH —–> NaCl = H2O
