Synthesis Reactions

A synthesis reaction or direct combination reaction is one of the most common types of chemical reactions. In a synthesis reaction two or more chemical species combine to form a more complex product.

A + B → AB

Examples of Synthesis Reactions

• Synthesis of Water
   (2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 H₂O(g

• Synthesis of Carbon Dioxide
•  
•  
  2CO(g) + O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g 

• Synthesis of Ammonia
• ( 3H₂(g) + N₂(g) → 2 NH₃(g

• Synthesis of Aluminum Oxide
• ( 4Al(s) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 Al₂O₃(s
