1
Q
synthesis reaction
A
reactants combine to form 1 product (a+b = c)
2
Q
Decompositions
A
reactant disassociates to form multiple products (ab to a + b)
3
Q
single displacement reaction
A
one element/ion switches places with another (a + bc to b +ac)
4
Q
double displacement reaction
A
two elements/ions switches places (ab + cd to ad + bc)
5
Q
combustion reaction
A
involves oxygen gas
6
Q

A
the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products
