This document discusses different types of chemical reactions including combustion, synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, and double displacement reactions. It provides examples of each type of reaction and defines key terms like solute, solvent, aqueous solution, solubility, precipitation, and alloys. The types of chemical reactions are distinguished based on what happens during the reaction such as whether a gas is formed, if energy is absorbed or released, or if new substances are created. Double displacement reactions can be identified if a precipitate forms, a gas is produced, or there is a pH change indicating a neutralization.
