What about combustion reaction makes them different from either synthesis or decomposition reaction?
The short answer is combustion reactions are a subset of synthesis reactions that require one of the reactants to be oxygen. Common combustion of organic molecules results in the formation of CO2 . However, it is not required that combustion be limited to organic molecules. They are different from decomposition reactions in the same way synthesis is the opposite of decomposition.
What else can I help you with?
Different types of chemical reaction?
I believe there are 6... (I'm a chemistry major) Combustion, synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and acid-base.
What is the reverse reaction type of synthesis?
Probable you think to a decompostion reaction.
What is the opposite of a synthesis reaction?
It would be a catabolic reaction or decomposition reaction.
What equations use the names to describe a reaction?
Some examples are: synthesis decomposition combustion single replacement double replacement
Is a decomposition reaction almost the same as a synthesis reaction?
No, a decomposition reaction is the opposite of a synthesis reaction. In a decomposition reaction, a compound breaks down into simpler substances, while in a synthesis reaction, simpler substances combine to form a more complex compound.
What are the general formulas for the five main types of reactions?
Synthesis - A + B = AB Decomposition - AB = A + B Single Replacement - A + BC = B + AC Double Replacement - AB + CD = AD + CB Combustion - either a synthesis, decomposition, or single replacement reaction. It combines with oxygen.
Is digestion a synthesis reaction?
Is this reaction an illustration of synthesis or digestion
What is the opposite of a synthesis?
It would be a catabolic reaction or decomposition reaction.
What is the opposite of synthesis?
It would be a catabolic reaction or decomposition reaction.
What reaction is opposite of a synthesis reaction?
It would be a catabolic reaction or decomposition reaction.
What are the 3 key types of chemical reactions?
The three key types of chemical reactions are synthesis (combination), decomposition, and combustion reactions. In synthesis reactions, two or more substances combine to form a single product. Decomposition reactions involve the breakdown of a single compound into two or more simpler substances. Combustion reactions involve the reaction of a substance with oxygen, typically producing heat and light.
What type of reaction is Mg O2MgO?
Thermal decomposition. MgCO3(s) ==heat==> MgO + CO2
