Synthesis, Decomposition, Single Replacement, Double Replacement Reactions

Types of Chemical Reactions



Cliff Notes
I. During a reaction, we start with reactants and end with products
    A. reactant: substance present at the beginning of a reaction, "reacts"
    B. product: substance present at the end of a reaction, it is "produced"
II. 5 Types of Reactions: Synthesis, Decomposition, Single Replacement, Double Replacement, Combustion
    A. Synthesis: A + B --> AB
    B. Decomposition: AB --> A + B
    C. Single Replacement: A + BC --> AC + B
    D. Double Replacement: AB + CD --> AD + CB
    E. Combustion: CX + O2 --> CO2 + H20
