The document outlines 5 main types of chemical reactions: synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion. It provides examples of each type of reaction and describes their key characteristics. Synthesis reactions combine two or more reactants to form one product. Decomposition reactions involve a single reactant breaking down into multiple products. Single replacement reactions involve one element replacing another in a compound. Double replacement reactions involve two compounds swapping parts to form two new compounds. Combustion reactions involve organic compounds burning in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
2. Five Types of Chemical Reactions
Synthesis
Decomposition
Single Replacement
Double Replacement
Combustion
3. SYNTHESIS
- The word Synthesis means to
put things together to make a whole.
- In a Synthesis reaction two
or more chemicals bond together
forming one new substance.
5. SYNTHESIS
Synthesis reactions are easy to
recognize. There will be two or more
reactants, but only one product.
Example :
2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
6. DECOMPOSITION
• The word Decomposition
means to separate or breakdown
into smaller pieces.
• In a Decomposition
reaction, one substance breaks
down into two or more products.
11. SINGLE REPLACEMENT
• Single replacement reactions
have an element and a
compound on both the reactant
and product side of the
equation.
Zn+2HCl →ZnCl2+H2
14. DOUBLE REPLACEMENT
• Double replacement reactions
have two compounds on both the
reactant and product side of the
equation.
AgNO3+NaCl→AgCl+NaNO3
15. COMBUSTION
•Combustion, or burning, is
a chemical reaction between an
organic compound ( usually a
hydrocarbon) and oxygen gas.
• The products in a combustion
reaction are carbon dioxide and
water.
16. .
• Combustion reactions are
exothermic, meaning that they
produce heat.
• The general formula for a
combustion reaction is :
CxHX + O2→CO2+H2O
17. .
• Combustion reactions always
have oxygen gas as a reactant
and water and carbon dioxide
as product.
