types of chemical reactions

Question 1

name the six different type of chemical reactions

Answer 1

synthesis, decomposition, single replacement,

double replacement, neutralization, and combustion.

Question 2

define a synthesis reaction

Answer 2

A synthesis reaction is when two or more reactants (usually elements) join to form a compound.

Question 3

define a decomposition reaction

Answer 3

A decomposition reaction is when compounds breaks down into two or more products (often elements).

Question 4

define a single replacement reaction

Answer 4

A single replacement reaction is when a compound and an element react, and the element switches places with part of the original compound. Positive ions will only replace a positive ion and negative ions will only replace a negative

Question 5

define a double replacement reaction

Answer 5

Double Replacement is when two compounds react, with elements switching places between the original compounds

Question 6

define a neutralization reaction

Answer 6

Neutralization is when an acid (most compounds starting with H) and a base (most compounds ending in OH) react.

Question 7

define a combustion reaction

Answer 7

A combustion reaction is when a hydrocarbon reacts with Oxygen to produce Water and Carbon Dioxide
