Predicting the Products of Chemical Reactions

• Decomposition
• Reactant 1 compound
• Probable products 2 or more elements and/or
  compounds
• Generic Equation AB yields A B

There are 5 general types of decomposition
reactions

• Metal carbonate yields metal oxide CO2
• Metal chlorate yields metal chloride O2
• Metal hydride yields metal oxide H2O
• Metal oxide yields metal oxygen
• Oxyacid yields nonmetal oxide H2O

• Reactants Two compounds
• Products Two different compounds, one of which
  is a solid, water, or a gas
• Generic Equation AX BY yields AY BX
