Document Summary

Example: the compound serotonin contains carbon (68. 2% by mass), hydrogen (6. 86%), nitrogen (15. 9%), and oxygen (9. 08%). The molar mass of serotonin is 176 g/mol. Combination reaction: basic form, a + x ax, in this type of reaction two or more substances react to form one product. Single displacement or substitution reaction: basic form, a + bx ax + b, in a single displacement reaction, a single uncombined element replaces another in the. Metathesis or double displacement reaction: basic form, ax + by ay + bx, in a metathesis reaction, two compounds react to form two new compounds. In these reactions, the ions of the two compounds simply change places. Combustion reaction: these are generally rapid reactions (always involve oxygen) that produce a flame, most often involve hydrocarbons reacting with oxygen in the air. Limiting reagent (or reactant: the reactant used up first in a reaction is called the limiting reagent, (cid:1005)(cid:1004) h2 + 7 o2 (cid:1005)(cid:1004) h2o + (cid:1006) o2.
