Q

Single Displacement

A

Metal element will replace the metal in the compound or non-metal will replace the non-metal in the compound

A + CD = C + AD (if metal)
Or
D + CA (if non-metal)

Q

Double Displacement

A

The first part of each compound will switch places to form 2 different compounds

AB + CD ——> AD + CB

  • switching alike ones only

Q

Neutralization

A

A type of double Displacement reaction. The products will be H2O and a salt

Acid + Base = water and salt

HA + BOH = H2O + BA

Q

Combustion

A

Complete Combustion: products are H2O and CO2
Incomplete combustion: products will also include C and CO

xHg + O2 —–> CO2 + H2O (complete)

CxHy + O2 —–> CO2 + H2O + CO + C (incomplete)
