Learn about the six types of chemical reactions - synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, acid-base, and combustion. Understand the general forms of each reaction and how to classify them based on the reactants and products. Practice classifying reactions with provided examples.

A chemical equation describes a chemical change. The Law of Conservation of Mass says that the number and kind of atoms going INTO a chemical reaction must be the same as the number and kind of atoms coming OUT. Balancing an equation makes it obey the Law of Conservation of Mass. Review
The six types of chemical reactions we will discuss are: Synthesis Decomposition Single Displacement Double Displacement Acid-Base Combustion Types of Reactions
Two or more substances combine to form one substance. The general form is A + X AX Example: 2Mg + O2 2MgO Synthesis Reactions
Decomposition Reactions One molecule breaks down to form two or more substances. The general form is AX A + X Example: 2H2O 2H2 + O2
Single Displacement Reactions A single element switches places with another element in a chemical compound. The general form is A + BX AX + B Example: Ni + 2AgNO3 2Ag + Ni(NO3)2
Example: Ni + 2AgNO3 2Ag + Ni(NO3)2 Single Displacement Reactions • Ni + 2AgNO3 • Nickel replaces the metallic ion Ag+. • The silver becomes free silver and the nickel becomes the nickel(II) ion.
Double Displacement Reactions The cations of two compounds exchange places with each other. The general form is: AX + BY AY + BX
Double Displacement Example: NaOH + CuSO4 The Na+ and Cu2+ switch places. Na+ combines with SO42- to form Na2SO4. Cu2+ combines with OH- to form Cu(OH)2 2NaOH + CuSO4 Na2SO4 + Cu(OH)2
Acid-Base Acid-base reactions are double displacement reactions which takes place when an acid and base react with each other. HA + BOH → H2O + BA AcidBase Example: HBr + NaOH → NaBr + H2O The H+ ion in the acid reacts with the OH- ion in the base, causing the formation of an ionic salt (NaBr) and water.
Combustion Reaction When a compound containing carbon and hydrogen combines with oxygen, the products formed are heat, water, and carbon dioxide. CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O
Does the reaction look like this: CxHx+ O2 CO2 + H2O ? If yes - combustion reaction. If no... 2) Is there only one product? If yes - synthesis reaction.If no... 3) Is there only one reactant? If yes - decomposition reaction. If no... 4) Are any reactants only one kind of element? If yes - single displacement reaction. If no... 5) Is water a product of this reaction? If yes - acid base reaction. If not - double displacement reaction.
