TYPES Of CHEMICAL REACTIONS

What are chemical reactions?

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. Chemical reactions can be either spontaneous, or nonspontaneous.

1. DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT EACTION

This is when the anions and cations of two different molecules switch laces! formin" two entirel# different com ounds$ These reactions are in the "eneral form% AB + CD ---> AD + CB One e&am le of a dou'le dis lacement reaction is the reaction of lead (II) nitrate with otassium iodide to form lead (II) iodide and otassium nitrate% Pb(NO !" + " #$ ---> Pb$" + " #NO

!. SIN"LE DISPLACEMENT EACTION

This is when one element trades laces with another element in a com ound$ These reactions come in the "eneral form of% A + BC ---> AC + B

One e&am le of a sin"le dis lacement reaction is when ma"nesium re laces h#dro"en in water to ma*e ma"nesium h#dro&ide and h#dro"en "as% %& + " '"O ---> %&(O'!" + '"

#. Decom$osition EACTION

A decom osition reaction is the o osite of a s#nthesis reaction + a com le& molecule 'rea*s down to ma*e sim ler ones$ These reactions come in the "eneral form% AB ---> A + B

One e&am le of a decom osition reaction is the electrol#sis of water to ma*e o&#"en and h#dro"en "as% " '"O ---> " '" + O"

%. S&nthesis reaction
A s#nthesis reaction is when two or more sim le com ounds com'ine to form a more com licated one$ These reactions come in the "eneral form of%

A + B ---> AB

One e&am le of a s#nthesis reaction is the com'ination of iron and sulfur to form iron (II) sulfide% ( )e + *( ---> ( )e*

'. COMBUSTION

EACTION

A com'ustion reaction is when o&#"en com'ines with another com ound to form water and car'on dio&ide$ These reactions are e&othermic! meanin" the# roduce heat$ An e&am le of this *ind of reaction is the 'urnin" of na hthalene% C+,'( + +" O" ---> +, CO" + - '"O

(. aci)*+ase reaction

This is a s ecial *ind of dou'le dis lacement reaction that ta*es lace when an acid and 'ase react with each other$ The H, ion in the acid reacts with the OH+ ion in the 'ase! causin" the formation of water$ -enerall#! the roduct of this reaction is some ionic salt and water% 'A + BO' ---> '"O + BA One e&am le of an acid+'ase reaction is the reaction of h#drotro ic acid (H.r) with sodium h#dro&ide% 'Br + NaO' ---> NaBr + '"O
