Types of Chemical Reactions Flashcards
What are the Types of Chemical Reactions?
Synthesis (combination), Decomposition, Replacement (single or double), and Combustion.
What are the Symbols for Chemical Reactions?
(s) - solid reactant or product.
(l) - liquid reactant or product.
(g) - gaseous reactant or product.
(aq) - reactant or product in water.
What is the Formula for Synthesis Reactions?
A + B -> AB. Two reactants and one product.
What is the Formula for Decomposition Reactions?
XY - > X + Y. One reactant and two (or more) products.
What is the Formula for Single Replacement Reactions?
X + YZ -> XZ + Y.
What is the Formula for Double Replacement Reactions?
AB + XY -> AY + XB.
What is the Formula for Combustion Reactions?
A + O2 -> CO2 + H2O. Reaction occurs in presence of oxygen, combustion reactions can also be synthesis reactions.
What type of reaction is illustrated?
P2O3 + 3H2O -> 2H3PO3
Synthesis.
