Decomposition
Single Replacement
Double Replacement
Combustion
Combination Reactions
Two or more substances combine to form
one substance.
The general form is A + X AX
Example:
Magnesium + oxygen magnesium
oxide
2Mg + O 2MgO
2
Magnesium + Oxygen
Combination Reactions
Combination reactions may also be called
composition or synthesis reactions.
Example:
Water can be decomposed by
electrolysis.
2H O 2H + O
2 2 2
Electrolysis of Water
Decomposition Reactions
Types of Decomposition Reactions:
Decomposition of carbonates
When heated, some carbonates
Al + Fe2O3
Aluminum will replace iron(III) as was
BX
CuSO4 + Na2CO3
Cu2+ combines with CO32- to form
CuCO3.
Na+ combines with SO42- to form
Na2SO4.
CuSO4 + Na2CO3 CuCO3 + Na2SO4
Na2CO3 + HCl
Double Replacement
Na2CO3 + HCl
Notice that gas bubbles were
reaction first.
Double Replacement
Na2CO3 + HCl
Na+ combines with Cl- to form NaCl.
H2CO3.
Na2CO3 + 2HCl 2NaCl + H2CO3
burning of a fuel.
Combustion Reaction
Methane, CH4, is natural gas.
When hydrocarbon compounds are
H2 + Cl2 2HCl
Combination
Ca + 2H2O Ca(OH)2 + H2
Single replacement
Practice
2CO + O2 2CO2
Combination and combustion
Zn + HCl ?
Single replacement
Zn + 2HCl ZnCl2 + H2
