Aluminum & CuCl2 by Mr. W

FIVE TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS

• COMBUSTION• SYNTHESIS• DECOMPOSITION• SINGLE DISPLACEMENT (aka “single

replacement”)• DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT (aka “double

replacement”)

WHAT TYPE IS IT?

• FIRST:• Is it COMBUSTION?

WHAT TYPE IS IT?

• SECOND:• If it’s not COMBUSTION, How do the

molecules split and combine?• Decomposition: One molecule splits into two

or more atoms or molecules• Synthesis: One molecule is made from two or

more atoms or molecules

WHAT TYPE IS IT?

• THIRD:• If it’s not COMBUSTION, DECOMPOSITION, OR

SYNTHESIS, How do the molecules split and combine?

• If a one part of a molecule is “pushed out” and replaced, then left all alone, it’s SINGLE DISPLACEMENT.

• If two pairs of molecules switch partners, it’s DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT.
