Decomposition reactions involve a single compound breaking down into its constituent elements, as seen in 2H2O → 2H2 + O2.
A catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternative pathway, without being consumed in the process.
Single replacement reactions involve one element being replaced in a compound, as seen with zinc replacing hydrogen in HCl.
A change in state of matter, such as melting or freezing, is typically a physical change, whereas color and temperature changes can indicate a chemical reaction.
A precipitation reaction occurs when two soluble salts form an insoluble solid, known as a precipitate.
Synthesis reactions involve two or more simple substances combining to form a more complex substance, as represented by A + B → AB.
The combustion of hydrocarbons mainly produces carbon dioxide and water as the main products.
Endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surroundings, which is opposite to releasing heat, a characteristic of exothermic reactions.
A balanced chemical equation has equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the equation, as seen in 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O.
Exothermic reactions release heat into the surroundings, causing the temperature to increase.
