1. Chemical Reactions The 5 Basic Classifications
2. SYNTHESIS A reaction in which two or more reactants yield a single product.
Also called composition or combination
General Equation
A + B ? AB
EX: 2 Li + Se ---> Li2Se
4. One or more reactants combine with oxygen releasing heat or light
Any combustion reaction must include the reactant oxygen, O2
General Equation:
A + O2 ? AO
5. Single Replacement Sometimes called Displacement
One element replaces a similar element in a compound
6. Double Replacement Reaction that has the interchanging of two ions from two different compounds.
general form:
AB + CD----> AD + CB
Example:
Pb(NO3)2 + 2 KI ----> PbI2 + 2 KNO3
7. Double Replacement Equation consists of two reactants that have both a cation and anion.
During a reaction the cations (or anions) switch places.
The products usually consist of a precipitate.
8. Reaction Checklist 1) Is O2 a reactant? (combustion)
2) One product? (synthesis)
3) One reactant? (decomposition)
4) Is an element being replaced? (single)
5) 2 switches? (double)
