Lesson 11 Classifying Chemical Reactions
Completion requirements
Conclusion
Classifying chemical reaction types is the first step toward the ability to predict products from given reactants.
B11.9 Writing a chemical formula
This lesson looked at analyzing reactants and products to determine the type of chemical reaction. You learned about the five common reaction types: formation, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and hydrocarbon combustion. You also learned what information is displayed in a balanced chemical reaction equation.
In the next lesson, you will learn how to balance chemical reaction equations and, given the reactants, predict what products will be produced.
