#1
Front (Question)

synthesis reactions

Back (Answer)

2 simple reactions combine to make a larger/more complex product

#2
Front (Question)

general pattern for a synthesis reaction

Back (Answer)

A+B = AB

#3
Front (Question)

decomposition reactions

Back (Answer)

large compounds are broken down into smaller compounds/elements usually absorbs energy (thermal or electrical)

#4
Front (Question)

general pattern of decomposition reactions

Back (Answer)

AB = A+B

#5
Front (Question)

single displacement reactions

Back (Answer)

one element displaces or replaces an element in a compound if involving an ionic compound and a metal, it is always the positive ion that is replaced in the compound

#6
Front (Question)

general pattern of a single displacement reaction

Back (Answer)

A+BC = AC+B

#7
Front (Question)

double displacement reaction

Back (Answer)

when 2 elements in different compounds trade places

#8
Front (Question)

general pattern of double displacement reaction

Back (Answer)

AB+CD = AD+CB

#9
Front (Question)

combustion reactions

Back (Answer)

any reaction where a “fuel” reacts with oxygen rapidly and releases energy

#10
Front (Question)

hydrocarbon

Back (Answer)

any compound made ONLY of hydrogen and carbon

#11
Front (Question)

complete combustion

Back (Answer)

if there is EXCESS O2 blue flame, very efficient and hot

#12
Front (Question)

incomplete combustion

Back (Answer)

if there is LIMITED O2 yellow flame, less efficient and hot

#13
Front (Question)

what products will always be produced by a combustion reaction?

Back (Answer)

CO2 H2O energy
