Synthesis
Synthesis Reaction
This type of reaction breaks one compound into two or more simpler substances.
Decomposition reaction
In this reaction type, one element replaces another element in a compound.
Single replacement reaction
This type of reaction occurs when two ionic compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds.
Double displacement reaction
This reaction type combines two or more substances into a single product?
When sodium reacts with chlorine gas to form table salt, this compound is produced.
The general form of a decomposition reaction.
AB = A+B
The general form of this reaction is represented as this equation.
A+BC = AC+B
In the reaction AgNO3 + NaCl = AgCl +NaNO3, this white solid forms.
Silver Chloride
CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O is an example of this reaction.
Combustion
This is the general form of a synthesis reaction.
A+B = AB
When electricity breaks water into hydrogen and oxygen, this process is occuring.
Decompostiton (electrosis)
When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid, this gas is released.
Hydrogen gas (H₂ )
A double displacement reaction that produces water is commonly called this type of reaction.
Neutralization reaction
In a decomposition reaction, one compound breaks apart into these simpler substances.
Elements or smaller compounds
Magnesium reacting with oxygen forms this white powdery compound.
Magnesium oxide (MgO)
Heating calcium carbonate produces calcium oxide and this gas.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂ )
Copper replacing silver in silver nitrate is an example of this reaction type.
In the reaction BaCl2 + Na2SO4 = BaSO4 + 2NaCl, this insoluble product is formed.
Barium sulfate
Zn + CuSO4 = ZnSO4 + Cu is an example of this kind of reaction.
Single displacement reaction
The reaction between iron and sulfur producing iron sulfide is an example of this reaction type.
Synthesis reaction
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and this gas.
Oxygen (O₂ )
A more reactive metal replacing a less reactive metal depends on this series.
Activity series
Double displacement reactions usually occur in this state of matter so ions can move freely.
Aqueous solution
This law states that matter cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction.
Law of conservation of mass.
