Types of Chemical Reactions

Type General Form Example
Combination A + B → AB CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂
Decomposition AB → A + B 2FeSO₄ → Fe₂O₃ + SO₂ + SO₃
Displacement A + BC → AC + B Fe + CuSO₄ → FeSO₄ + Cu
Double Displacement AB + CD → AD + CB Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ → BaSO₄ + 2NaCl

Key Observations

  • Combination: Heat release, steam evolution (exothermic)
  • Decomposition: Color change (green→brown), pungent gas smell
  • Displacement: Solution color fades (blue→green), metal deposits
  • Double Displacement: White precipitate (BaSO₄) forms instantly
Did you know? Quicklime (CaO) absorbs moisture from air so aggressively that it's used as a desiccant in food packaging!
