(synthesis)

Acid

(synthesis)

Base

(synthesis)

CO₂ + Metal oxide

(decomposition)

Nonmetal Oxide + Metal Oxide

(decomposition)

NH₃ + H₂O

(decomposition)

CO₂ + H₂O

(decomposition)

SO₂ + H₂O

(decomposition)

CO₂ + H₂O

(combustion)

Metal + Binary Cmpd.

(Single Displacement—use activity series)

Nonmetal + Binary Cmpd.

(Single Displacement—use activity series)

Ionic Compound + Ionic Compound

(double displacement—look for formation of precipitate, water, weirdo or other molecular species)

Covalent Cmpd.

(synthesis)

Nonmetal oxide w/ higher ox. #

(synthesis)

Nonmetal halide w/ higher ox. #

(synthesis)

Water + Anhydrous ionic cmpd.

(Decomposition)

Oxygen + Metal

(decomposition)

Oxygen and Metal chloride

(decomposition)

Water + Metal oxide

(decomposition—reverse of a synthesis rxn)

Water + Nonmetal oxide

(decomposition—reverse of a synthesis rxn)

Water + Oxygen

(decomposition)

Water + Nonmetal oxide

(same as combustion of hydrocarbon)

Ammonia + something

(Whatever’s left—decomposition)
