Question

Identify the type of reaction and then balance the equation for each of the following reactions.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

There are 4 types of chemical reactions:

- Synthesis is when two elements or compounds form only one compound.

- Decomposition is when 1 compound is broken into 2 or more products.

- Single replacement is when one element is replaced by another element.

- Double replacement is when the cations of two compounds are interchanged.

1.- Decomposition                      2 Al₂O₃    ⇒    4 Al   +  3O₂

2.- Single replacement          Mg  +  2HNO₃   ⇒   Mg(NO₃)₂   +  H₂

3.- Combustion                      2C₆H₆  +  15O₂   ⇒   12CO₂   +   6H₂O

4.- Synthesis                          2Ag   +   S   ⇒   Ag₂S

5.- Double replacement      3Ca(OH)₂   + 2H₃PO₄   ⇒   Ca₃(PO₄)₂  + 6 H₂O
