Question

The only way to determine the products of a reaction is to carry out the reaction. All chemical reactions can be classified as one of five general types. Complete combustion has occurred when all the carbon in the product is in the form of carbon dioxide. A single reactant is the identifying characteristic of a decomposition reaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

All the statements are correct but "all chemical reactions can be classified as one of the five general types".

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, I assume you are looking for the wrong statement as long as the following ones are correct and matches with the foundations of chemical reactions:

- The only way to determine the products of a reaction is to carry out the reaction. This is clear, because after the chemical reaction is done, one identifies the products.

- Complete combustion has occurred when all the carbon in the product is in the form of carbon dioxide. This is clear due to a 100% conversion.

- A single reactant is the identifying characteristic of a decomposition reaction. All decomposition reactions have only one reactant which breaks into less complex species.

So the wrong statement is:

- All chemical reactions can be classified as one of five general types. This is wrong because there are four widely known chemical reactions: synthesis, decomposition, simple displacement and double displacement.

Best regards.
