Chemical Reactions and Equations (Class 10 Science) Part 3

Types of chemical reaction The chemical reaction are classified into different classes depending upon the type of chemocal changes taking place. These reactions are as follows : 1. Combination Reaction :- A reaction in which two or more reactants combine to form a single product, is called combination reaction, e.g. CaO (s) + H 2 O (l) → Ca(OH) 2(aq) + Heat C (s) + O 2(g) → CO 2(g) 2. Decomposition Reaction :- A reaction in which a single reactants breaks down to form two or more products, is known as decomposition reaction. This reaction is opposite to combination reaction. e.g. CaCO 3(s) → CaO (s) + CO 2(g) 2AgCl (s) → 2Ag (s) + Cl 2(g) 2NaCl (l) → 2Na (s) + Cl 2(g) ...
