Quick Chem: Determining Reaction Types
Channel: Brian Bennett
Date: 2023-12-04

Chemical reactions all have signature structures. By looking closely at the reactants and products, you can decide what type of reaction you're balancing or preparing. In this video, I go through two quick examples of how to determine what kind of reaction we're looking at.

The five reaction types are:
1. Synthesis
2. Decomposition
3. Combustion
4. Single replacement
5. Double replacement

Pause while you're watching to see if you can figure it out before I give the answer.
