This document discusses types of chemical reactions. It describes combination reactions like white washing of walls and burning of coal. Decomposition reactions are demonstrated by the thermal decomposition of ferrous sulfate. Displacement reactions are shown by the reaction of iron and copper sulfate solution. Double displacement reactions occur when sodium sulfate and barium chloride solutions are mixed. Redox reactions involve both oxidation and reduction, as seen in the reaction of copper and oxygen. Respiration is an exothermic combination reaction, while the decomposition of ferrous sulfate is endothermic.
