GCSE / IGCSE and NCERT Class 10 reaction types with word, balanced and ionic equations and observations: combustion of methane and magnesium, neutralisation of HCl by NaOH and of H₂SO₄ by CuO, and displacement of copper by zinc and of bromine by chlorine. ## What the template shows - Each reaction three ways: word equation, balanced symbol equation with state symbols, and ionic equation - Combustion: fuel + oxygen → oxides; exothermic - Methane (complete) - methane + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water - ΔcH = −890 kJ mol⁻¹; limited air: 2CH₄ + 3O₂ → 2CO + 4H₂O - none: no ions in solution - blue flame; CO₂ turns limewater milky - magnesium + oxygen → magnesium oxide - none (solid product); as half-equations Mg → Mg²⁺ + 2e⁻ and O₂ + 4e⁻ → 2O²⁻ - brilliant white flame, white powder - Neutralisation: acid + base → salt + water - Acid + alkali - hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide → sodium chloride + water - HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l) - Na⁺ and Cl⁻ are spectators · ΔH ≈ −57 kJ mol⁻¹ (strong acid + strong base) - temperature rises; indicator changes colour - Acid + insoluble base - sulfuric acid + copper(II) oxide → copper(II) sulfate + water - H₂SO₄(aq) + CuO(s) → CuSO₄(aq) + H₂O(l) - black solid dissolves; blue solution - Displacement: a more reactive element pushes a less reactive one out of its compound (redox) - Metal displacement - zinc + copper(II) sulfate → zinc sulfate + copper - Zn(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → ZnSO₄(aq) + Cu(s) Drawn with 7 shapes – every one editable in MolDraw. ## Sources - [NCERT, Science, Class X, ch. 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations; ch. 2 Acids, Bases and Salts](https://ncert.nic.in/) Textbook - [Atkins, de Paula & Keeler, Atkins' Physical Chemistry, 11th ed., OUP 2018, ch. 2](https://openlibrary.org/isbn/9780198769866) Textbook ## How to use this template 1. Press **Edit in MolDraw**. The template opens on the canvas of the free MolDraw editor. 2. Change anything: move structures, edit atoms and labels, recolour highlights or delete what you do not need. 3. Add your own structures, arrows and text next to it, or combine several templates on one page. 4. Export the drawing as PNG, SVG or PDF for slides, worksheets, theses and papers. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Combustion, neutralisation and displacement template free? You can preview the Combustion, neutralisation and displacement template here and open and edit it in MolDraw for free. Downloading or exporting it is part of MolDraw Pro, together with the other premium templates. ### Can I edit the Combustion, neutralisation and displacement template? Yes. It opens as an ordinary MolDraw drawing, so every structure, arrow, label and colour can be changed, and you can add your own content around it. ### Is the chemistry checked? Every structure is checked with RDKit and every curly arrow passes MolDraw’s electron-flow audit. The sources used are listed on this page. ### Which MO diagrams are included? H₂ and He₂, N₂ and O₂ (showing s–p mixing and paramagnetic O₂), and carbon monoxide. ## More general & inorganic templates [**VSEPR shapes**Free · General & inorganic](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/genchem-vsepr-shapes/)[**MO diagrams: N₂ and O₂**Free · General & inorganic](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/genchem-mo-n2-o2/)[**Crystal field splitting**Free · General & inorganic](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/genchem-crystal-field/)[**Born–Haber cycle: NaCl**Premium · General & inorganic](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/genchem-born-haber-nacl/)[**MO diagram: H₂ and He₂**Premium · General & inorganic](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/genchem-mo-h2/)[**MO diagram: carbon monoxide**Premium · General & inorganic](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/genchem-mo-co/)[**High spin and low spin: d⁶**Premium · General & inorganic](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/genchem-high-low-spin/)[**Hess's law: ΔfH of carbon monoxide**Premium · General & inorganic](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/genchem-hess-co/) ## Related pages [**VSEPR & Molecular Geometry Worksheet**Free printable worksheet](https://www.moldraw.com/educational-materials/vsepr-molecular-geometry-worksheet/)[**Lewis Structure Worksheet**Free printable worksheet](https://www.moldraw.com/educational-materials/lewis-structure-worksheet/)[**Printable Periodic Table**Free printable worksheet](https://www.moldraw.com/educational-materials/printable-periodic-table/)[**All General & inorganic templates**20 templates](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/general-and-inorganic/)[**All chemistry templates**525 templates in 31 categories](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/) MolDraw Pro Download all 525 templates - Export the 437 premium templates as PNG, SVG or PDF - AI chemistry assistant - Structure scanning from images - Cloud save and teaching slides [See Pro plans](https://www.moldraw.com/pricing) Free templates stay free.
