Chemical Equation

- Is a short hand that scientists use to describe a chemical reaction

For Example:
H2 + O2 -> H20

1. Combination Chemical Reaction

- 2 or more reactants form 1 product
General Formula:
A + B -> AB
2NA(s) Cl2(g) -> NaCl

2. Decomposition Chemical Reaction

- A single compound breaks down into 2 or more simpler substance
General Formula:
AB -> A + B
2H2O(l) -> 2H2(g) + O2(g)

3. Single Displacement Chemical Reaction

- A more active element displaces another less active element from compound
General Formula:
A + BC -> AC + B
Zn(s) CuSO4(aq) -> ZnSo4(aq) + Cu(s)

4. Double Displacement Chemical Reaction

- It is also known as metathesis reactions
- 2 species (normally ions) are displaced
- reaction of this type occur in a solution and either insoluble solid or
water will be formed

General Formula:
AB + CD -> AD + CB
KCl(aq) + AgNo3(aq) -> AgCl(s) KNO2(aq)

5. Combustion (Burning) Reaction

- It occurs when a compound, usually one containing carbon, combines with
oxygen gas in the air
C2H10 + O2 -> CO2 + H2OASSH

6. Acid Base Reaction

- This is a special kind of double displacement that takes place when an
acide and base react with each other
HCL + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O
