Chemical Reactions - Classification

Classification



A simple way of classifying chemical reactions is to group them in one of four basic types:



On occasion a reaction does not clearly fall into one of these types or appears to be a combination of these types. For example, the reaction below could be thought of as a double displacement reaction followed by the decomposition of carbonic acid.

K2CO3 + 2 HBr (H2CO3 + 2 KBr ) H2O + CO2 + 2 KBr
