There are six main types of reactions • Synthesis • Decomposition • Combustion • Single Replacement (Single Displacement) • Double Replacement (Double Replacement) • Neutralization
Synthesis • A combination of two or more substances to form a larger substance. • A + B AB • Examples: • Hydrogen + Oxygen Water • Sodium + Chlorine Sodium Chloride
Decomposition • The breaking apart of one substance into two or more parts. • AB A + B • Examples: • WaterHydrogen + Oxygen • Calcium carbonate calcium oxide + carbon dioxide
Combustion • A special form of decomposition which involves a reaction between a hydrocarbon (has C and H) and oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. • Example: • Methane + oxygen carbon dioxide + water
Single Replacement or Single Displacement • An element in a compound is replaced by a free element. • A + BC AC + B • Examples: • Potassium + water potassium hydroxide + hydrogen • Lead (II) sulfide + iron iron (II) sulfide + lead
Double Replacement or Double Displacement • Two elements switch places with each other. • AB + CD AD + CB • Examples: • Zinc chloride + sodium bromide zinc bromide + sodium chloride • copper (II) sulfate + silver nitrate silver sulfate + copper (II) nitrate
Neutralization • A special form of double replacement in which an acid and a base form salt and water. • Examples: • Hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide sodium chloride + water • phosphoric acid + calcium hydroxide calcium phosphate + water
