Questions and Answers

What is the primary difference between a decomposition reaction and a combustion reaction?

  • Decomposition reactions always release energy, while combustion reactions always absorb energy.
  • Decomposition reactions are always exothermic, while combustion reactions are always endothermic.

    Chemical Reactions

    Decomposition Reaction

    • A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances
    • Example: 2H2O → 2H2 + O2
    • Often requires energy input, such as heat or light

    Combustion Reaction

    • A reaction where a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light
    • Example: 2CH4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O
    • Often involves the release of energy in the form of heat and light

    Oxidation Reaction

    • A reaction where an atom, molecule, or ion loses one or more electrons
    • Example: 2Cu + O2 → 2CuO
    • Often involves the gain of oxygen or the loss of hydrogen

    Neutralization Reaction

    • A reaction where an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water
    • Example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
    • Often involves the combination of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-)

    Displacement Reaction

    • A reaction where a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from a compound
    • Example: Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu
    • Often involves the replacement of one element with another

    Double Displacement Reaction

    • A reaction where two compounds exchange partners, resulting in the formation of two new compounds
    • Example: NaCl + AgNO3 → NaNO3 + AgCl
    • Often involves the exchange of ions between two compounds

    Chemical Reactions

    Decomposition Reaction

    • A single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances, often requiring energy input
    • Can be represented by a general equation: AB → A + B
    • Energy input can be in the form of heat, light, or electricity

    Combustion Reaction

    • A reaction between a substance and oxygen that produces heat and light
    • Often involves the release of energy in the form of heat and light
    • Can be represented by a general equation: Fuel + Oxygen → Products + Heat + Light

    Oxidation Reaction

    • Involves the loss of one or more electrons by an atom, molecule, or ion
    • Can be represented by a general equation: 2A → 2A+ + 2e-
    • Often involves the gain of oxygen or the loss of hydrogen

    Neutralization Reaction

    • A reaction between an acid and a base that produces a salt and water
    • Can be represented by a general equation: Acid + Base → Salt + Water
    • Involves the combination of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-)

    Displacement Reaction

    • A more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from a compound
    • Can be represented by a general equation: A + BC → AC + B
    • Often involves the replacement of one element with another

    Double Displacement Reaction

    • Two compounds exchange partners, resulting in the formation of two new compounds
    • Can be represented by a general equation: AB + CD → AD + CB
    • Often involves the exchange of ions between two compounds
