In the world around us there is five types of chemical reactions:synthesis reaction, decomposition reaction, single replacement reaction, double replacement, and combustion reactions. In modern day technology uses these reactions to produce a product or make products function.
Single Replacement is a chemical reaction which occurs when one reactant switches for one ion of another reactant.
Example 1:
AB+C yields to AC+B
In words, it is a reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound. The reactions starts with pure elements and an aqueous compound.
Example #2
Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2
Zn + CuCl2 --> ZnCl2 + Cu
Cl2 + NaBr --> NaCl + Br2
Mg + HCl --> MgCl2 + H2 I learned there is no type of single

If you conduct the catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in a closed vessel, you will be able to determine the reaction rate as a function of the pressure increase in the vessel that is caused by the production of oxygen gas. If you vary the initial molar concentration of the H2O2 solution, the rate law for the reaction can also be determined. Finally, by conducting the reaction at different temperatures, the activation energy, Ea, can be calculated as heat is the energy source. Catalase is very efficient at decomposing hydrogen peroxide; one molecule of the enzyme can catalyse the conversion of over 6000,000 hydrogen peroxide molecules into water and oxygen every second. The enzyme occurs widely in tissues such as the liver and prevents accumulation of, and tissue damage by, hydrogen peroxide that is produced during metabolism. Catalase found in human red blood cells is a complicated chemical consisting of four polypeptide chains with 500 amino acids in each chain. Each peptide chain includes a porphyrin heme group. These are the active components which allow the enzyme to catalyse the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. It benefits the society as it is a cheap product that can be bought of shelfs to clean wounds and
