Classify the following reaction according to the five basic reaction types:

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Cd + H₂SO₄    →    CdSO₄ + H₂

In given reaction Cd replace the hydrogen and form cadmium sulfate and hydrogen gas.

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.
