Sample Response: The reactants and products determine the type of chemical reaction. If there are more products than reactants, then it is a decomposition reaction. If there are more reactants than products, it is a synthesis reaction. If oxygen is a part of the reactant, it is a combustion reaction. If one ion replaces another, it is a single replacement reaction. If there are two compounds in a reactant where cations switch, it is a double replacement reaction. Check all information below that
