Answers
Combination reaction
Two or more compounds combine to form one compound
A+ B → AB
===============================
Decomposition reaction
The opposite of a combination reaction – a complex molecule breaks down to make simpler ones.
AB → A + B
===============================
Precipitation reaction
Two solutions of soluble salts are mixed resulting in an insoluble solid (precipitate) forming.
A + Soluble salt B → Precipitate + soluble salt C
===============================
Neutralization reaction
An acid and a base react with each other. Generally, the product of this reaction is a salt and water.
Acid + Base → Salt + Water
===============================
Combustion reaction
Oxygen combines with a compound to form carbon dioxide and water. These reactions are exothermic, meaning they give off heat.
A + O2 → H2O + CO2
===============================
Displacement reaction
One element takes place with another element in the compound.
A + BC → AC + B
