CHEMICAL REACTION
Term | Definition | Personal Definition |
---|---|---|
Synthesis reaction//Combination reaction | Two elements or molecules combine to form one product | Two things combined to make one |
A + B → AB | Synthesis or combination reaction | |
8 Zn (s) + S8 (s) ⇒ 8 ZnS (s) | Synthesis or combination reaction | |
Decomposition reaction | One compound or molecule breaks apart to form multiple products | when something is divided to make multiple things |
AB → A + B | Decomposition reaction | |
Al2(CO3)3 (s) ⇒ Al2O3 (s) + 3 CO2 (g) | decomposition reaction | |
Single replacement reaction//Single displacement reaction | reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound. | When an element is replaced with another in a compound |
AB + C → AC + B | single replacement reaction | |
Ca (s) + 2 H2O (l) ⇒ Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2 (g) | single replacement reaction | |
Double replacement reaction | reaction in which the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places to form two new compounds | |
AB + CD → CB + AD | double replacement reaction | |
BaCl2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) ⇒ 2 NaCl (aq) + BaSO4 (s) | double replacement reaction | |
Combustion reactions | chemical reaction that occurs between a fuel and an oxidizing agent that produces energy, usually in the form of heat and light. | |
CxHx + O2 → CO2 + H2O | ||
C5H12 (l) + 8 O2 (g) ⇒ 6 H2O (g) + 5 CO2 (g) |
