5 Types of Chemical Reactions Combination Decomposition Single Displacement Double Displacement Combustion
Combination A+ B → AB Also known as synthesis Two reactants combine to make 1 product
Decomposition AB → A + B 1 reactant breaks down into two products
Single Displacement A + BC → B + AC Single exchange of an element
Combustion When an element/compound reacts with oxygen to form CO2 and water
Examples 2Al + 3SnSO4 → Mg + Cu(NO3)2 → Mg(No3)2 + Cu Fe + Na2SO4 → no rxn Zn + MnCl2 → no rxn 2Al + 3SnSO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 3 SN
