Synthesis Reaction:
- in a Synthesis Reaction {also known as a composition reaction} two or more substances combine to form a new compound.
- This type of reaction is represented by the following equation. H2 + O2 yields H2O
Synthesis Reaction
Single Replacement Reaction
Double Displacement Reaction
Decomposition Reaction
- in a Decomposition Reaction, a single compound undergoes a reaction that produces two or more simpler substances.
- This type of reaction is represented by the following equation.
KL yields to K + L
Single- Displacement Reaction
- in a Single Displacement Reaction {also known as a replacement reaction} one element replaces a similar element in a compound.
Ca + 2KCl yields CaCl2 + 2K
Double- Displacement Reaction
- in Double Displacement Reaction, the ions of two compounds exchange places in an aqueous solution to form two new compounds.
- This type of reaction is represented by the following equation.
AZ + BX yields BZ + AX
Combustion Reaction
- in a Combustion Reaction, a substance combines with oxygen, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
- This type of reaction is represented by the following equation.
