Types of Chemical Reactions Types of Chemical Reactions All chemical reactions can be placed into one of the five categories. All chemical reactions can be placed into one of the five categories. 1) Combustion: A combustion reaction is when oxygen combines with another compound (usually a hydrocarbon, which is composed of a combination of carbon and hydrogen) to form water and carbon dioxide. These reactions are exothermic, meaning they produce heat. This reaction can be expressed as: 1) Combustion: A combustion reaction is when oxygen combines with another compound (usually a hydrocarbon, which is composed of a combination of carbon and hydrogen) to form water and carbon dioxide. These reactions are exothermic, meaning they produce heat. This reaction can be expressed as: CxHy + O2 → CO2 + H2O CxHy + O2 → CO2 + H2O 2) Synthesis or Combination: A synthesis (or combination reaction) is when two or more simple compounds/elements combine to form a larger compound. These reactions come in the general form of: 2) Synthesis or Combination: A synthesis (or combination reaction) is when two or more simple compounds/elements combine to form a larger compound. These reactions come in the general form of: A + B → AB A + B → AB 3) Decomposition: A decomposition reaction is the opposite of a synthesis reaction – a larger molecule breaks down to make simpler ones. These reactions come in the general form: 3) Decomposition: A decomposition reaction is the opposite of a synthesis reaction – a larger molecule breaks down to make simpler ones. These reactions come in the general form: AB → A + B AB → A + B 4) Single Replacement: This is when one element trades places with another element in a compound. These reactions come in the general form of: A + BC → AC + B 5) Double Replacement: This is when the metals and nonmetals of two different molecules switch places, forming two entirely different compounds. These reactions are in the general form: AB + XY → AY + BX 4) Single Replacement: This is when one element trades places with another element in a compound. These reactions come in the general form of: A + BC → AC + B 5) Double Replacement: This is when the metals and nonmetals of two different molecules switch places, forming two entirely different compounds. These reactions are in the general form: AB + XY → AY + BX
