synthesis
2 or more substances that combien to only form 1 compound
what is a synthesis reaction
a compound breaks down into smaller compounds or elements
what is a decomposition reaction
when oxygen is avaliable in sufficient amount
what is complete combustion
one element in a compound is displaced by another element to form a single element and a new compound
what is single displacemenet
exchange of cations between 2 ionic compounds
what is double displacement
the general form of a synthesis reaction
what is A+B->AB
the general form for a decomposition reaction
what is AB-> A+B
when there is insufficient amounts of oxygen
what is incomplete combustion
the general form of a single displacement reaction
what is A+BC->AC+B
often 1 of the products will be this
what is a percipitate
non-metal oxide + water
what is an acid
products of metal nitrate decomposing
metal nitrite + O2
the general form of a complete combustion reaction
what is hydrocarbon+ oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water vapour
a more reactive metal will always displace a less reactive metal. how can you tell if the metal will displace?
what is the activity serise table
the general form of a double displacement reaction
what is AB+CD->AD+CB
metal oxide + water
what is a base
products of metal carbonate decomposing
metal oxide + CO2
the general form of a incomplete combustion reaction
what is hydrocarbon + oxygen -> carbon monoxide + carbon + carbon dioxide + water vapour
single displacement happens with what kind of elements
what are metals and halogens
can form a precipitate, a gas or a water (neutrlization)
what are the types of double displacement reaction
products of metal hydroxide decomposing
metal oxide + H2O
a compound made up of only carbon and hydrogen
what is a hydrocarbon
used to determine the solubility of a compound
what is the solubility table
