C

Decomposition is of this form: A becomes B+C ... so after the reaction, the element A DECOMPOSES into two smaller elements, B and C.

Synthesis is the opposite: B+C becomes A AFTER THE REACTION.

Hope that helps :))

Answer: c) Decomposition reactions are essentially the opposite of synthesis reactions

Explanation:

1. Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Example: K_2CO_3\rightarrow K_2O+CO_2

2. Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which fuel is reacted with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

Example:  CH_4+O_2 \rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

3. Single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution.

Example: Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2

4. Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

Example: K_2O+CO_2\rightarrow K_2CO_3  

Thus synthesis ad decomposition are opposite chemical changes as decomposition is breaking of one reactant to form multiple products and synthesis is formation of one product from multiple reactants.

A baseball is thrown high into the air. As it travels upwards it loses speed and slowly comes to a stop high above the grove wha
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Potential energy

Explanation:

The thrown baseball is converting from kinetic energy into potential energy. When it finally stops at a particular height, it attains its maximum potential energy at the position or point.

  • Potential energy is the energy at rest of body.
  • Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of body.

The more a body speeds, the higher its kinetic energy attained.

As a body comes to rest, at a height, it attains potential energy.

The body during flight decreases in kinetic energy but increases its potential energy due to gravity pulling it to rest.

When a person pushes off a wall with 15N of force,how much force does the wall push back
aivan3 [116]
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force so that means that the wall is pushing you with the same amount of force that you put on it.

What is the function of a lyase enzyme?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

c. To facilitate a reaction of one substrate to form two products without the use of water

Explanation:

A lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes - accelerates the chemical reaction - in which a substrate is broken into two molecules. The reaction does not involve hydrolysis or oxidation, so the water molecule is not included in the chemical reaction. Thus, the enzyme facilitates the reaction in which a molecule (substrate) is decomposed into two molecules with the elimination of chemical bonds.
