double replacement

AB + CD = AD + BC

single replacement

AB + C = AC + B

synthesis

AB = A + B

Combustion

hydrocarbon + O2 = CO2 +H2O

Precipitation

aq + aq = aq + s (solid is the precipitant)

Acid/Base

Acid (H w/ hydrogen or polyatomic) + base (ionic w/ OH) = H2O + salt

REDOX

oxidation state changes (OIL RIG)

Solute

what gets dissolved

solvent

what does dissolving

empirical formula

smallest ratio

molecular formula

accounts for all atoms
