Type of Chemical reaction

C2H8 + 4O2 2CO2 + 4H2O

Chemical Equations or
Reaction
The same atoms are present
in a reaction at the beginning (reactants)
and at the end (products), the amount
of matter in a system does not change.

What are the 5 types of

reactions?

Types of Chemical Reactions

1. Neutralization: Acid(H) + Base(OH) salt +
H(OH)
2. Combustion: AB + oxygen CO2 + H2O
3. Synthesis: A + B AB
4. Decomposition: AB A + B
5. Single displacement: A + BC AC + B
6. Double displacement: AB + CD AD + CB

Ex. Decomposition Reaction

Decomposition Reactions
2. Covalent compounds may decompose into
elements, like the following:
By running electricity through water, the water
molecules decompose into hydrogen and oxygen
gases.
2H2O 2H2 + O2

Quiz Question 1/5

Which of the following is a
decomposition reaction?
2Fe + O2
2FeO

Na + AgCl Ag +
NaCl

Na2S 2Na
+ S

5. Combustion Reactions
Combustion
reactions - a
hydrocarbon reacts
with oxygen gas.
This is also called
burning!!!
In order to burn
something you need
the 3 things in the fire
triangle:
1) Fuel (hydrocarbon)
2) Oxygen
3) Something to ignite

Combustion Reactions
In general:
CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O
Products are ALWAYS
carbon dioxide and water.
(although incomplete
burning does cause some
by-products like carbon
monoxide)
Combustion is used to heat
homes and run automobiles
(octane, as in gasoline, is
C8H18)

Neutralization Reactions
1. Sulfuric acid is used to neutralize calcium
hydroxide:
H2SO4 + Ca(OH) 2 CaSO4 + 2H2O
2. Phosphoric acid helps to neutralize the
compounds that cause rust, such as iron(II)
hydroxide.
H3PO4 + 3Fe(OH)2 Fe3(PO4)2 + 6H2O
