Tyler:Nowthatweknowthisletsmoveontoexplainingthe5majortypesofchemical
reactions.
Segment2Scene2TheFirstChemicalReaction:
AJ:Thereare5majortypesofreactionswhenbalancingequationsandtheyare
Synthesis,Decomposition,SingleReplacement,DoubleReplacement,andCombustion.
Tyler:ThefirstonewearegoingtotalkaboutistheSynthesisReaction.

Tyler:Insimplertermsthismeanswhen2elementscombinetomakeacombine.
Tyler:Theexamplethatwehaveprovidedtoclassifythefirstreactionis2N2+5O2
2N2O5.
Sydney:Keepinmindthatwehavealreadybalancedthisequationtomakebalancinga

AJ:ThereasonthattheequationwehavedescribedisaSynthesisReactionisbecause,it

Sydney:Combustioniswhenhydrocarbonsandoxygencombinetomakecarbondioxide
andwater.
Tyler:Theexampletorepresentthisisasfollows:C4H8+O24CO2+4H2O
Tyler:Youcantellthischemicalreactionisacombustionreactionbecauseitincludes
hydrocarbons(C4H8+O2)andoxygen(O2)whichproducescarbondioxide(4CO2)and
water(4H2O).
AJ:Combustionisoneoftheeasiestreactionstorememberbecauseitalwayswillhave
hydrocarbons,oxygen,carbondioxide,andwater.Therefore,nowthatwehavegotten
