Recognising the pattern letsyou predict the products.Synthesis: A + B → AB. Two things combine.Decomposition: AB → A + B. One thing splits.Single replacement: A + BC → AC + B.Double replacement: AB + CD → AD + CB.Combustion: fuel + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O.LOOK FOR ITZn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂ is single replacement: zinc displaces hydrogen.Single replacement only happens if the lone element is more reactivethan the one it would displace.The Five Reaction Typeswww.littleactivity.com
