Question

Match the type of chemical reaction to the corresponding definition or details.

1. Ions combine to form an insoluble neutral compound that precipitates from solution.

2. This reaction happens when something is heated (burned) in the presence of oxygen gas.  

3. This reaction can occur when almost any compound is heated to a sufficiently high temperature.

4. The products of this reaction is always going to be water and a salt.

5. Reactions that involve the transfer or exchange of electrons from one atom to another.

6. In this reaction the anions and cations from the two reactants swap with each other.

7. The reaction of two substances to form one substance. One example is the formation of hydrates.

Options:

Combination Reactions

Decomposition (or Dissociation) Reactions

Exchange or Displacement Reactions

Combustion Reactions

Precipitation Reactions

Acid-base or neutralization reactions

Redox Reactions (Electron Transfer Reactions)
