Typical State of Matter
Types of Reactions
Total combustion
Double Displacement
Acid - Base
Ha+bOH = AB + H2O
ab + cd = ad + cb
Single Displacement
a + bc = b + ac
Check solubility table
Check reactivity table
Only higher reactivity can displace
Decomposition
ab + energy = a + b
Synthesis
a + b= ab
Balancing Reactions
Redox
Electrons should add up
Hydrogen first, oxygens last
Basic
Elements should add up
