Here are a few examples of chemical reactions:

  1. Combustion: The rapid reaction between a substance with an oxidant, usually oxygen, to produce heat and light.

    • Example: Burning wood. Wood+O2→CO2+H2O+Energy\text{Wood} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{Energy}
  2. Oxidation: A chemical reaction that involves the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state.

    • Example: Rusting of iron. 4Fe+3O2→2Fe2O34\text{Fe} + 3\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3
  3. Acid-Base Neutralization: A reaction between an acid and a base, forming salt and water.

    • Example: Mixing hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide. HCl+NaOH→NaCl+H2O\text{HCl} + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{NaCl} + \text{H}_2\text{O}
  4. Decomposition: A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

    • Example: Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. 2H2O2→2H2O+O22\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{O}_2
