PRESENTATION OUTLINE
5 TYPES
- Decomposition
- Single Replacement
- Double Replacement
- Combustion
- Combination
Decomposition
One larger chemical compound breaking up into 2 or more smaller substances
Synthesis
2 or more smaller chemical substances combine into a new, larger compound. Hydrogen gas & oxygen gas combine into water.
Single Replacement
An atom bumps out one ion from an aqueous solution. Table J is used for these.
Double Replacement
You start with two Aqueous Solutions, the cations switch anions with each other. Use table F to determine solubility in water.
Combustion
A hydrocarbon combines rapidly with oxygen, releasing carbon dioxide, water, and lots of energy.
