NOTE: You can tell this combination reaction has occurred because on the

reactant side there are two substances, while on the product side there is
only one product.
Examples
•The reaction between hydrogen (H 2) and nitrogen (N2) to form ammonia
(NH3)
N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) → 2 NH3 (g)
•The reaction between carbon (C) and oxygen (O 2) to form carbon
dioxide (CO2)
C (s) + O2 (g) → CO2 (g)
•When sodium (Na) metal reacts with chlorine (Cl 2) gas, the reaction
results in sodium chloride (NaCl), also known as common salt
2 Na (s) + Cl2 (g) → 2 NaCl (s)
Reaction between two compounds
Example
•When magnesium oxide (MgO) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
combine, the resulting product is magnesium carbonate
(MgCO3)
MgO (s) + CO2 (s) → MgCO3 (s)
Reaction between an element and a compound
Example
•The reaction between carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen
(O2) yields carbon dioxide (CO2).
2 CO (g) + O2 (g) → 2 CO2 (g)
Examples
•Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) decomposes into calcium oxide (CaO) and
carbon dioxide (CO2) gas when heated.
CaCO3 (s) + heat → CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

salt.
CaCO3 (s) + heat → CaO (s) + CO2 (g)
•Thermal decomposition of phosphoric acid (H 3PO4) produces
diphosphoric acid (H4P2O7) and water (H2O).
2 H3PO4 → H4P2O7 + H2O
Regardless of the reaction type, all chemical reactions are
applicable to universal truth. A new substance and a chemical
change must be produced if a process is to be classified as a
chemical reaction. An energy change in the formation of a new
substance is often accompanied by some physical or
observable change. There may be physical changes in many
ways, such as gas bubble formation, solid precipitation
formation or color change. The changes indicate a chemical
reaction and are important indicators for further research by
chemists.

one substance into several products.
The reaction between iron (Fe) and oxygen (O 2) results in iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3), commonly known as rust. Rusting is a naturally occurring
phenomenon.

Answer: Combination Reaction

• Two or more elements combine to
form one compound.
Answer: Combustion

and producing by-products from water and
carbon dioxide.
