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.

What net ionic equation describes the reaction when these solutions are mixed?
almond37 [142]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The net ionic equation that will describe the reaction of the reactants when mixed is expressed as:

<span>2PO43–(aq) + 3Ca2+(aq) → Ca3(PO4)2(s)
</span>
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Where are the noble gases on the periodic table and what characteristics do they have?
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>the noble gases are those who occupy the eighth group of the periodic table and are so called because having the complete valence shell do not need to form bonds with other atoms and are thus in atomic form ...
</span>
The noble gases (also called rare gases) are of the inert gases that constitute the eighteenth [1] group of the periodic table of the elements, ie, the right-most column. They consist of atoms with electron shells full. It includes the following elements: helium neon argon krypton xenon radon Ununoctium <span>Sometimes they (particularly helium) are located together with other gases (mostly nitrogen and methane) into endogenous sources; helium of endogenous origin comes from the decomposition of radioactive elements present in the subsurface that emit α particles (ie ions He2 +): These oxidized species present in the soil and become elio.I atoms of the noble gases are all monatomic gas, not easily liquefiable, present the atmosphere in different percentages; the most common is argon which is approximately the 0.932%.</span>
