Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is conserved in a chemical reaction. There are 6
classification of chemical reaction according to the types:
A. COMBINATION REACTION: Reactants combine to form a single product. The general
formula for this reaction is: A + B ------→ AB or (Ba + F2 ------→ BaF2)
B. DECOMPOSITION REACTION: In this reaction, a single reactant breaks down into simpler
ones. (2 or more products). This is the reverse of combination reaction. The general formula
for this reaction is: AB ------→ A + B or (2HgO ------→ 2Hg +O2)
C. SINGLE DISPLACEMENT (Replacement) REACTION. This is when one element replaces
another element from a compound. The more active element takes the place of the less active
element in a compound. The general formula for this reaction is: A + BC ------→ AC + B or
(2K + 2H2O ------→ 2KOH + H2)
D. DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT REACTION (Metathesis). This is when the positive ions (cations)
and negative ions (anions) of different compounds switch places, froming two entirely different
compounds. The general formula for this reaction is: AB + CD → AD + CB or (NaCl + AgF
------→ NaF + AgCl)
E. COMBUSTION (Burning) REACTION This when oxygen combines with a hydrocarbon to form
water and carbon dioxide. Ex. CH4 + 2O2 ------→ CO2 + 2H2O)
F. ACID-BASE REACTION: This is a special kind of double displacement that takes place when
an acid and base react with each other. HCl + NaOH ----→ NaCl + H2O

Activity: What is Your Type?

Direction: Fill in the table below. Classify the following chemical equations according to the six types
of chemical reactions. One point for each correct type of chemical reaction.

2 Mg + O2 ------→ MgO
3 CH3CO2H + NaHCO3 ------→ NaC2H3O2 + CO2 + H2O
4 CuSO4 + NaOH ------→ Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4
5 MgO + CO2 ------→ MgCO3
6 CaCO3 ------→ CaO +CO2
7 FeS + 2HCl ------→H2S +FeCl2
