5 Common Reaction Types: -synthesis -decomposition -combustion -single displacement -double displacement synthesis - means to make something or build

Example: synthetic material, photosynthesis decomposition- means to something down starts out as 1 whole and breaks into 2 or more EX: decomposing (dead) animals or garbage

5 Common Reaction Types: -synthesis -decomposition -combustion -single displacement -double displacement Combustion-burning

always has CO2 as a product

actual example:

5 Common Reaction Types: -synthesis -decomposition -combustion -single displacement -double displacement single displacment- 1 switch
one element switches or hops to another partner

Cl switches to pair w/ Ca in the product Like a divorce and a remarriage

5 Common Reaction Types: -synthesis -decomposition -combustion -single displacement -double displacement double displacment- 2 switch
2 elements switch or change partners

Na & So4 both switches partners in the product

5 Types of Chemical Reactions Guess which common reaction type: 4Fe + 3O2 2 substances Fe2O3 1 product

synthesis

5 Types of Chemical Reactions Examples of synthesis reactions:

A skinny bird (reactant) and the worm (reactant) combine to make one product..one fat bird.

5 Types of Chemical Reactions Examples of synthesis reactions:

rain water & carbon dioxide in the air

carbon monoxide gas & oxygen gas

combine to form

combine to form

carbonic acid

carbon dioxide gas

5 Types of Chemical Reactions 5 Common Reaction Types:

Guess which common reaction type?

reactant -------> product + product

decomposition

5 Types of Chemical Reactions Examples of decomposition reactions:

1) water can be broken down into hydrogen gas & oxygen gas

2)To visualize this reaction look at the cartoon:

the egg (the reactant), which contained the turtle at one time, now has opened and the turtle (product) and egg shell (product) are now two separate substances.

5 Types of Chemical Reactions

Examples of decomposition reactions:

Ex: mercury oxide decomposes into mercury and oxygen

2HgO

2Hg + O2

5 Types of Chemical Reactions Guess which common reaction type?

Zn + 2HCL

ZnCl2 + H2

Single Displacement

5 Types of Chemical Reactions Single Replacement Reaction Contd: The chemical equation for this single replacement reaction looks like: reactant + reactant -----> product + product

Zn + 2HCL

ZnCl2 + H2

To visualize this reaction look at the cartoon:

the guy in the orange shirt steals the date of the other guy.
So, a part of one of the reactants trades places

and is in a different place among the products

5 Types of Chemical Reactions Guess which common reaction type?

AgNo3 + NaCl

AgCl + NaNo3

double displacement

4) Double Displacement (Replacement) Reaction:

5 Types of Chemical Reactions

a reaction in which the elements in two compounds are exchanged parts of two compounds switch places to form two new compounds Two reactants yield two products.
they

switch partners

AX + BY AY + BX

Double Displacement (Replacement) Reaction:

5 Types of Chemical Reactions

The chemical equation for double replacement reaction looks like: reactant + reactant -----> product + product

EX: silver nitrate combines with sodium

two new compounds--silver chloride & sodium nitrate are formed WHY? because the sodium and silver switched places
