Types of reactions

  • Combustion: Combustion is the formation of CO2 and H2O from the reaction of a chemical and O2
  • Combination (synthesis): Combination is the addition of 2 or more simple reactants to form a complex product.
  • Decomposition: Decomposition is when complex reactants are broken down into simpler products.
  • Single Displacement: Single displacement is when an element from on reactant switches with an element of the other to form two new reactants.
  • Double Displacement: Double displacement is when two elements from on reactants switched with two elements of the other to form two new reactants.
  • Acid-Base: Acid- base reactions are when two reactants form salts and water.

  2. While this chart is helpful, I don't think it really applies to stoichiometry. Thanks for reminding me about the stuff from the Chemical Reactions unit though!
