I am working on an assignment where I have to determine the products from given reactants and its type of reaction.

I am having trouble determining if a reaction is "NO REACTION" or not.
I know for single replacement, you have to look at activity series.
But how do you know for others:

-synthesis, decomposition, combustion, double replacement (precipitation) and double replacement (neutralization)

By the way,
-powdered silver oxide is heated.
What's the product of that?
How are you supposed to know?

Thanks.

That's what the chemistry is about. You have to know substances and their properties, than you can predict what will happen. Usually, as sometimes results will be surprising, that's when you are getting close to a chance to get this Nobel thing

There is no one, simple rule that fits all problems.

On the HS level you need to remember solubility rules (to predict precipitation) and things like ways of making acids, ways of making bases and so on.
