Synthesis Decomposition Single Replacement Double Replacement

1. Synthesis Synthesis …meaning to put together 2 (or more) reactants → 1 product first reactant second reactant product Examples: Ca + S →CaS 2 H 2 + O 2 →2 H 2 O H 2 O + CO 2 →H 2 CO 3 + this is so cool!!

2. Decomposition Decomposition …meaning to break apart 1 reactant → 2 (or more) products reactant 2 different products Examples: C 2 H 6 →2 C+3 H 2 2 H 2 O→2 H 2 +O 2 +

3. Single Replacement Single Replacement …meaning to replace one element in a compound with another element (Exchange the positively charged ions or the negatively charged ions) element + compound → new compound + element reactants 2 new products element compound new compound new element Examples: Zn+2 HCl→ZnCl 2 + H 2 Mg+Ca(NO 3 ) 2 →Mg(NO 3 ) 2 + Ca 2 Na+H 2 O→Na 2 O + H 2 ++

Double Replacement …meaning two compounds exchange their anions (negatively charged ions) compound 1 + compound 2  compound 3 + compound 4 Examples HNO 3 + NaCl  NaNO 3 + HCl 3 CaO + 2 AlCl 3  3 CaCl 2 + Al 2 O Double Replacement
