Explore the different types of chemical reactions including combustion, synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement, with examples and general forms. Learn how substances combine or break down to form new products in this informative guide.
E N D
Combustion • Exothermic reaction where a substance (usually a hydrocarbon) combines with oxygen • Products are carbon dioxide and water (and light & heat)
Synthesis • Two or more substances react to form ONE product • One of the products formed is larger or more complex than any of the reactants • General Form: • A + B → AB • “Chemical Dance” Example
Examples of Synthesis Reactions • Producing Ammonia (Haber Process): • N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g) • Producing Water • 2 H2(g) + O2(g) → 2 H2O(l) • Rusting of Iron • 4 Fe(s) + 3 O2(g) → 2 Fe2O3(s) • “Green” Statue of Liberty • 2 Cu + O2 2 CuO
Decomposition • The reactant compound is broken down into two or more simpler substances • General Form: • AB → A + B • “Chemical Dance” • Examples: • H2CO3(aq) H2O(l) + CO2(g) • Electrolysis of water
Single Replacement • One element replaces another element in a compound • General Form: • A + BC → B + AC • “Chemical Dance” • Examples: • 2 AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) • Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2 Ag
Double Replacement • Two elements in different compounds exchange places • General Form: • AB + CD → AD + CB • “Chemical Dance” • Examples: • 2 KI(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) 2 KNO3(aq) + PbI2(s) • CaCO3 + 2 HCl → CaCl2 + H2CO3
