Further Explanation  Chemical equation  A chemical equation is an equation showing chemical symbols of reactants and those of products. They represent a chemical reactions between reactants to form products. For example; (NH4)2S(aq)+SrCl2(aq)→ 2 NH4Cl(aq) + SrSO4(s), where (NH4)2S and SrCl2 are reactants while NH4Cl and SrSO4 are products. Types of chemical reactions  Precipitation reaction Precipitation reactions are reactions which involves the formation of a precipitate as one of the products. A precipitate is a compound that is insoluble in water. An example of a precipitation reaction is; (NH4)2S(aq)+SrCl2(aq)→ 2 NH4Cl(aq) + SrSO4(s), where the compound SrSO4 is the precipitate.  Displacement reaction Displacement reactions are reactions where ions replace other ions in their compounds. For example; ; (NH4)2S(aq)+SrCl2(aq)→ 2 NH4Cl(aq) + SrSO4(s) is an example of a double displacement reaction where NH4+ takes the place of Sr ions in SrCl2 and Sr2+ takes the place of NH4+ in (NH4)2SO4. Decomposition reaction  Decomposition reactions are reactions which involves break down of a compound to its constituent’s elements or other compounds by use of a catalyst or heat. For example; Decomposition of lead (II) nitrate using heat to get lead (ii) oxide, oxygen and nitrogen (IV) oxide. Neutralization reaction  Neutralization reactions are reactions that involve reacting a base or an alkali and an acid to form a salt and water as the only product. Redox reactions Redox reactions are reactions that involve both reduction and oxidation. Some species in reactions undergo reduction while others undergo oxidation.
