Hydrolysis is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water ruptures one or more chemical bonds. The term is used broadly for substitution, elimination, and fragmentation reactions in which water is the nucleophile.

Which reaction is a decomposition reaction? A. 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2 B. 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O C. ZnS + 3O2 → 2ZnO + 2SO2 D. 2NaBr + CaF

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Option A. 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

Explanation:

There are five basic general types of chemical reactions:

Decomposition reactions

Synthesis or combination reaction

Single replacement reactions

Double replacement reactions

Combustion reactions

The given reactions are:

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

Which is, indeed, a decomposition reaction because the reactant, KClO₃, is a single substance that undergoes a reaction in which it yields two new substances, known as products: KCl and O₂.

4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O is a synthesis or combination reaction because two reactants, Na and O₂, combine for the formation of one single new product, Na₂O.

ZnS + 3 O₂ → 2ZnO + 2SO₂ is a single replacement reaction because oxygen is replacing Zn and S in ZnS to form ZnO and plus SO₂.

2NaBr + CaF₂ → 2NaF + CaBr₂ is a double replacement reaction because two ions (Br⁻ from NaBr and F⁻ from CaF₂) are exchanging places with other two ions (Na⁺ from NaBr and Ca²⁺ from CaF₂) two form two new ionic compounds (NaF and CaBr₂).

The atomic theory proposed by dalton has been

Sidana [21]

What did Dalton's atomic theory contribute to science?

Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.
