There are 6 main types of Chemical Reactions. Thought they may look look like gobeldygook the first time you look at them, identifying what type of reaction you’re looking at is pretty easy.
1 = Decomposition Reaction: A reaction where one reactant yields two or more products.
2 = Synthesis Reaction: The construction of complex chemical compounds from simpler ones.
3 = Combustion Reaction: Oxygen combines with a substances to release heat or light energy.
4 = Single Displacement: One element is replaced by another in a compound.
5 = Double displacement: The cations and anions of two different compounds switch places, forming two entirely different compounds.
6 = Acid Base Reaction: The exchange of one or more protons (H+ ions) between compounds.
You will need to identify the type of chemical reaction and do the basic math below to solve the puzzle.
N40 ZY.XWV W105 0U.TSR
Z = (A + G) – (H + J)
Y = G – I
X = C
W = (B + D) - I
V = (E + F) – J
U = G
T = H + D
S = B
R = D – I
