GENCHEM CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND EQUATIONS

• Type of chemical reaction where two substances combine to form a single product

  Combination Reaction
• Type of chemical reaction where a single compound decomposes to two or more substances

  Decomposition Reaction
• Type of chemical reaction where an active element takes the place of another element in a compound

  Single Replacement
• Type of chemical reaction where two compoynds react to form two new compounds, and involved exchange of ion pairs

  Double Replacement Reaction
• Identify what type of chemical reaction is being done:

  A+B=AB (Combination)

  AB=A+B (Decomposition)

  A+BC=AC+B (Single Replacement)

  AB+CD=CB+AD (Double Replacement)
• Indicates the number of electrons that have been removed or added to get to its new state

  Oxidation Number
• The substance that is reduced

  Oxidizing Agent
• The substance that is oxidized

  Reducing Agent
• What is the formula for combustion reaction?

  $x+$$0_2=$$CO_2+$$H_2O$
• Four major types of chemical reactions

  • Combination
  • Decomposition
  • Single Replacement
