Topics covered:
Types of Chemical Reactions
Classifying reactions as combination/ synthesis; decomposition; single replacement; double replacement; precipitation; acid-base/ neutralization; combustion; or redox (reduction and oxidation)
Predicting Reaction Outcomes
Using tables of solubility rules and/or the metallic activity series to understand expected outcomes (for example, formation of a precipitate or if one metal will replace another).
Broader context
The Law of Conservation of Mass (that matter is neither created nor destroyed) is an underlying assumption behind working with chemical equations. For further depth, we recommend our lesson on Balancing Chemical Equations.

STUDY TIP: Only study what you DON'T know
Practice tests are a uniquely beneficial tool for the serious student. You can't study everything, nor should you! Practice tests identify the gaps in your knowledge and any weak spots in your understanding. Take the practice test, read the explanations, and then ONLY study the topics you missed. Supercharge your test preparation!
