Types of Reactions

-6 generalized types of reaction
  -Synthesis
  -Decomposition
  -Single/Double Replacement
  -Combustion
  -Neutralization
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A: Synthesis A+B --> C
     -combines two or more reactants to form one product
     Ex: K + Cl --> KCl
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B: Decomposition C--> A+B
     -one compound breaks down to two or more reactants
     Ex: CaCO3 --> CaO+CO2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C: Single Replacement A+BC --> AC+B(A=metal) or A+BC--> AB+C(A=non metal)
     -one element is replaced by another in a compound
     Ex: 2Al+3FeCl2--> 2Fe+AlCl3
           Cl2+2KBr-->Br2+2KCl
     *some metals are more reactive than other metal, same as non- metal
     *using the Activity Series ----an element higher up on the series replaces the ion below it on the table
     Ex: 2Li+MgCl2-->2LiCl+Mg  (yes)---Li is higher than Mg on the table
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D: Double Replacement AB+CD-->AD+BC
     -a double replacement is a reaction between two ionic compounds usually in solution
     Ex: Na2CO3(aq)+CaCl2(aq)-->CaCO3(s)+2NaCl(aq)
     *According to the Solubility  Table, if there is a Solid in the product side;
        this equation would be  reacted  
        Net Ionic Equation: Ca2+  +  Cl1-   -->CaCl2

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E: Combustion AB+O2----->AO+BO
     -A combustion reaction is a reaction reactants are chemical to be burned
      and the oxygen that it reacts with.
      Ex:C4H8+6O2--->4CO2+4H2O
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F: Neutralization HA+ BOH--->H2O+AB
     -A Neutralization reaction is a special double replacement reaction where acids react withe bases to produce water and an ionic salt as products
     Ex: 2HBr(aq)+Sr(OH)2(aq)--->SrBr2(aq)+H2O(l)
