This document discusses the laws of conservation and definite proportions established by Antoine Lavoisier and Joseph Proust, and defines the four main types of chemical reactions: composition, decomposition, single-displacement, and double-displacement reactions. Composition reactions involve elements or simpler substances combining to form new substances, while decomposition reactions involve splitting a single substance into simpler parts. Single-displacement reactions involve one element replacing another in a compound, and double-displacement reactions involve the exchange of ions between two compounds.
