Answer:
Explanation:
element - a basic substance that can't be simplified (hydrogen, oxygen, gold, etc...) molecule - two or more atoms that are chemically joined together (H2, O2, H2O, C6H12O6, etc...) compound - a substance that contains more than one element (H2O, C6H12O6, etc...)
Answer: 
Explanation:
A single displacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus one element should be different from another element.

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound.
Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons burn in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water along with heat.

Answer: (2) decreasing the concentration of HCl(aq) to 0.1 M
Explanation: Rate of a reaction depends on following factors:
1. Size of the solute particles: If the reactant molecules are present in smaller size, surface of particles and decreasing the size increases the surface area of the solute particles. Hence, increasing the rate of a reaction.
2. Reactant concentration: The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants.
3. Temperature: Increasing the temperature increases the energy of the molecules and thus more molecules can react to give products and rate increases.
(1) Increasing the initial temperature to 25°C will increase the reaction rate.
(2) Decreasing the concentration of HCl(aq) to 0.1 M will decrease the reaction rate due to lesser concentration.
(3) Using 1.2 g of powdered Mg will increase the reaction rate due to large surface area.
(4) Using 2.4 g of Mg ribbon will increase the reaction rate due to high concentration of reactants.
