1. 14.2 Types of Reactions

2. Carbon compound + O2 → CO2 + H2O
Type of Reaction
Identifying the type…
General Equation
two or more reactants combine to produce ONE compound
A + B → AB
Synthesis →
ONE compound is broken down to produce two or more compounds
AB → A + B
Decomposition →
element + compound produces element + compound
A + BX → AX + B
Single Displacement →
two compounds produce two compounds
AB + CD → AD + BC
Double Displacement →
burning - carbon compound combines with oxygen to release heat/energy
Carbon compound + O2 → CO2 + H2O
Combustion
ALWAYS THE PRODUCTS!

4. Types of Reactions EXIT SLIP
Identify the following unbalanced reactions as synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, or combustion. EXPLAIN YOUR CHOICE.
1. C4H10 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
2. Mg + CO2 → MgO + C
3. PCl3 + Cl2 → PCl5

6. Synthesis Reactions A + B → AB
In a synthesis reaction, two or more substances combine to form a new compound.
A + B → AB

7. Decomposition Reaction
In a decomposition reaction a single compound is broken down to form two or more smaller compounds.
AB → A + B

8. Single Displacement Reaction
In a single-displacement reaction, one element replaces a similar element in a compound.
A + BX → AX + B

9. Double Displacement Reaction
In a double displacement reaction, ions from two compounds in solution exchange places to produce two new compounds.
AB + CD → AD + CB

10. Double Displacement Reaction
Formation of a cloudy precipitate (solid) is evidence that a double displacement reaction has occurred.

11. Combustion Reaction Carbon compound + O2 → CO2 + H2O
In a combustion reaction (burning), a carbon compound combines with oxygen and releases a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
Carbon compound + O2 → CO2 + H2O
The products of a combustion reaction are ALWAYS CO2 + H2O
