Introduction to Chemical
Reactions
TYPES OF CHEMICAL
REACTIONS
 Types of Chemical Reactions
• Combination or Synthesis Reaction

• Analysis or Decomposition Reaction

• Single replacement (Substitution) Reaction

• Double-Replacement (Metathesis) Reaction

 SYNTHESIS REACTION

Two or more simple substances

(the reactants) combine to form
one product
A + B  AB

Ex: 2Mg + O2  2MgO

 Examples
4Al + 3O2  2Al2O3

Mg + S  MgS

2Na + Cl2  2NaCl

SO3 + H2O  H2SO4

DECOMPOSITION REACTION
A single compound/substance
(the reactant) breaks down into
two or more simple parts
(products).
Synthesis and decomposition
reactions are opposites.
AB  A + B
Ex: 2H2O  2H2 + O2 Electrolysis of
Water
 Examples
2KClO3  2KCl + 3O2

2HgO  2Hg + O2

CaCO3  CaO + CO2

2H2O  2H2 + O2
 SINGLE REPLACEMENT
REACTION
An uncombined
element displaces an
element that is part
of a compound.

A + BX  AX + B

Ex: Zn + CuSO4  ZnSO4 + Cu

 Single Replacement Reactions
Single replacement reactions have the
general form, A + BX AX + B.

Question: Do all single replacement

reactions actually occur?

Answer: Not necessarily…

 Single Replacement Reactions
How do we know which reactions will occur
and which ones will not?

We look at the “activity series”.

Elements with higher activities replace

elements with lower activities during a
single-replacement reaction, but not vice-
versa.

 Examples
Fe + CuSO4  FeSO4 + Cu

Zn + 2HCl  H2 + ZCl2

2Na + 2H2O  H2 + 2NaOH

Cl2 + 2 NaBr  2 NaCl + Br2

 2) DOUBLE REPLACEMENT
REACTION

Atoms or ions from

two different
compounds replace
each other.
AX + BY  AY +
BX
 Examples

AgNO3 + NaCl  AgCl + NaNO3

Na2SO4 Pb(NO3)2  PbSO4 + 2 NaNO3

CaO + HCl  H2O + CaCl2

AgNO3 + HCl  AgCl + HNO3

 TRY TO CLASSIFY THESE:
1. HCl + NaOH  H2O + NaCl

2. 2KNO3(s)  2KNO2(s) + O2(g)

 TRY TO CLASSIFY THESE:
4. 2Ag + S  Ag2S

5. MgCO3(s)  MgO(s) + CO2(g)
