(30 cards)
is a process in which at least one
substance is produced as a result of chemical change.
chemical reaction
The substance that enter into a chemical reaction are
called
reactants
substances formed from this
reaction are called .
products
separates reactants from products; usually
read as ‘yields’.
arrow (→) -
- separates individual substances in each
side
plus sign (+)
- denotes a reaction in equilibrium
double arrow (⇌)
state of compound or molecules -
(s) solid, (l) liquid, (g)
gas, and (aq) aqueous
What are the different
types of chemical
reactions?
Synthesis Reactions
Decomposition Reactions
Single Displacement Reactions
Double Displacement Reactions
Combustion Reactions
Combination reactions
• Reactions where two or more simple substances
(generally elements) combine to form new compoun
Synthesis Reactions
A compound is broken down into simpler compounds or
even its starting elements
Decomposition Reactions
Decomposition of a compound is possible through the
application of either
heat, energy, a catalyst, or a
combination of these.
One element replaces a similar element in the compound
Single Displacement Reactions
occurs when two ionic substances react and exchange
ions with one another
Double Displacement Reactions
Two types of double displacement reactions
acid-base reactions
precipitation reactions
Acid-base reactions or neutralization reactions
Combinations of an acid and a base forming a salt and
water
Happen when the cation of one compound combines with the
anions of another compound, forming an insoluble solid
known as a precipitate
Precipitation Reactions
Substance reacts with oxygen gas, releasing a large
amount of energy in the form of light and heat
Combustion Reactions
are rapid
reactions. These reactions often
produce flames and give off heat,
releasing carbon dioxide and
water.
Combustion reactions
are a combination of two or
more simple substances to form compounds.
Synthesis reactions
happen when a
compound is broken down into simpler substances
(usually their elements).
Decomposition reactions
are reactions wherein one
element substitutes another element in a compound
Single displacement reactions
happen when two
compounds exchange ions with another.
Double displacement reactions
occurs when a substance is made
to react with oxygen gas with the application of heat.
