GUIDE CARD
A. COMBINATION (SYNTHESIS)
REACTION: reaction when two or more
reactants combine to form a single
product.
The general formula for this reaction is:
A + B → AB
B. DECOMPOSITION REACTION: single
reactant breaks down into simpler ones
(2 or more products)
The general formula for this reaction is:
AB → A + B
C.SINGLE DISPLACEMENT
(REPLACEMENT): this is when one
element replace another element from a
compound.
The general formula for this reaction is :
A + BC → AC + B
D. DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT REACTION
(METATHESIS): This when the positive ions
(cations) and negative ions (anions) of
different compounds switch places,
forming two entirely different compounds.
The general formula for this reaction is:
AB + CD → AD + CB
E. COMBUSTION (BURNING) REACTION:
This is when oxygen combines with a
hydrocarbon (compound containing
hydrogen and carbon) to form a water and
carbon dioxide.
Example: burning of butane gas:
CH O → CO + HO
₄ ₁₀ ₂ ₂ ₂
F. ACID-BASE REACTION: The other
product is salt.
Example of which is:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + HO

A chemical equation is a
chemist’s shorthand
reaction.
Reactants are the
starting materials and the
products which are the
resulting substances.

REACTION”
1. Which of the following best describes a chemical
reaction that is the reverse of synthesis, and how does it
contribute to environmental or industrial processes?
A. Combustion – It releases energy by breaking down
hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen.
B. Decomposition Reaction – It breaks down complex
substances into simpler ones, playing a role in recycling
materials.
C. Double Displacement Reaction – It involves the
exchange of ions between two compounds, forming new
products.
D. Single Displacement Reaction – It replaces one element
in a compound with another, affecting product formation.
