Info:
Forming new
compounds
5. TYPE OF REACTION: DECOMPOSITION
Examples:
AB A + B
2KCL3 2KCl + 3O2
Info:

compounds
6. TYPE OF REACTION: SINGLE
REPLACEMENTExamples:
A+ BC AC + B
Pb + FeSO4 Fe + PbSO4
Info: An element takes the place of
another element in a compound
7. TYPE OF REACTION: DOUBLE
REPLACEMENTExamples:
AB+ CD CB + AD
RbNO3 + BeF BeNO3 + RbF
Info: Two compounds break apart and
form new compounds
8. TYPE OF REACTION: COMBUSTION
Examples:
A + O2 AO2 + Heat
CH3OH + O2 CO2 + 2H2O + Heat
Info: Always has Oxygen as a reactant.
Produces heat as a product. O2 Burns!
9. TYPE OF REACTION: ACID-BASE
Examples:
H+ + OH- Water + Salt
HCN + NaOH H2O + NaCN
Info: Acids ( H+) and bases (OH-) are the
reactants that neutralizes to form salt and
water as products.
