TYPES OF
CHEMICAL
REACTION
Synthesis or Combination Reaction
A reaction in which two or more reactants
combine to form a single product is
known as a combination reaction
It takes the form of X + Y → XY
Synthesis or Combination Reaction
It takes the form of
A + B → AB
Example 1 ;
2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
Example 2 ;
NH3 + HCl → NH4Cl
2. Decomposition Reaction
A reaction in which a single compound
breaks into two or more simpler compounds
is known as a decomposition reaction.
This is just the opposite of combination
reaction
Decomposition Reaction
It takes the form of AB → A + B
Example 1 ;
2 H2O2 → 2H2O + O2
Example 2;
CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
Single Displacement
/Replacement Reaction
A chemical reaction in which a more
reactive element displaces a less reactive
element from its aqueous salt solution
One element replaces another element in a
compound
Single Displacement /Replacement Reaction
also called a substitution reaction
It takes the form
AB + X → AX + B
Example 1 ;
2 HCl+Zn → ZnCl2 +H2
Example 2
Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu
Double Displacement Reaction
This involves exchanging of ions to form a
new compound
It is also called a
metathesis reaction
It takes the form of
AB + XY → AX + BY
Example 1 ;
BaCl2 + Na2SO4 → BaSO4 + 2NaCl
Example 2;
KBr + AgNO3 → KNO3 + AgBr
Neutralization Reaction
A neutralization reaction can be defined as
a chemical reaction in which an acid and
base quantitatively react together to form a
salt and water as products.
In a neutralization reaction, there is a
combination of H+ ions and OH– ions which
form water.
A neutralization reaction is generally an
acid-base neutralization reaction
Examples: •
Formation of Sodium Chloride
(Common Salt):
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
Combustion Reaction
a reaction in which a substance reacts with
oxygen gas, releasing energy in the form of
light and heat.
Combustion reactions must involve O2 as
one reactant.
The combustion of hydrogen gas produces
water vapor:
All combustion reactions fall
into the pattern ; fuel + O2
CO2 + H2O
The coefficients of the
balanced equation will change
depending on the fuel.
The fuel can be almost
anything including methane
(CH4), propane (C3H8),
butane (C4H10), octane
(C8H18) or sugar (C6H12O6)
