Synthesis
What happens in a synthesis reaction?
In a synthesis reaction, two or more reactants combine to produce a single product.
What happens in a decomposition reaction?
In a decomposition reaction, a compound is broken down into smaller compounds or separate elements.
What happens in a single replacement reaction?
In a single replacement reaction, a reactive element and a compound react to produce another element and another compound.
What happens in a double replacement reaction?
In a double replacement reaction, two ionic solutions react to produce one ionic solution and one ionic solid.
What happens in a combustion reaction?
A rapid reaction with a hydrocarbon with oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water.
How do you represent a synthesis reaction in the form of an equation?
element + element → compound
A + B → AB
How do you represent a decomposition reaction in the form of an equation?
compound → element + element
AB → A + B
How do you represent a single replacement reaction in the form of an equation?
element + compound → element + compound
A + BC → B + AC
How do you represent a double replacement reaction ?
Double Replacement Reaction: ionic solution + ionic solution → ionic solution + ionic solid
AB(aq) + CD(aq) → AD(aq) + CB(s)
How do you represent a combustion reaction in the form of an equation?
hydrocarbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
CxHy + O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
