Synthesis Reactions - Bekah and Faith



Definition - a combination of two or more substances and a compound results.

Format: A + B → AB

Common Synthesis Reactions:

 2K (s) + Cl 2(g) → 2KCl (s) Potassium + Chlorine Gas → Potassium Chloride

 8 Fe + S 8 → 8 FeS Iron (II) + Sulfide → Iron (II) Sulfide

N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) Nitrogen gas + Hydrogen gas → Ammonia gas

Even though it is just combining two substances together, the equation still has to be balanced. For example,

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O   http://www.chemistryhelp.net/basic-chemistry/types-chemical-reactions http://ths.talawanda.net/~BrambleN/classroom/Chemistry/Notes/Section%202C/TypesofReactions.htm
