Answer: decomposition

Explanation:

1 . Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide ans water along with liberation of large amount of energy.

2. Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which a single reactant gives two or more than two products.

CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2

3. Single replacement is a type of chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its slat solution.

4. Synthesis is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more than two reactants combine together to give a single product.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is decomposition reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given options:

<u>Option 1:</u> Combustion

Combustion reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water molecule.

\text{Hydrocarbon}+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

<u>Option 2:</u> Decomposition

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction in which a single large substance breaks down into two or more smaller substances.

AB\rightarrow A+B

<u>Option 3:</u> Single replacement

Single replacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

<u>Option 4:</u> Synthesis

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction in which smaller substances combine in their elemental state to form a larger substance.

A+B\rightarrow AB

Hence, the correct answer is decomposition reaction.

Which substance would have the highest melting point, based on electronegativity?
kenny6666 [7]

Water, H₂O, will have the highest melting point.

Explanation:

So here we have listed the hydrides of oxygen, sulphur, selenium and tellurium.

From this elements oxygen have the highest electronegativity and as a consequence the oxigen hydride (water, hydrogen dioxide) it is able to form hydrogen bonds between molecules. So you need more energy to overcome the interactions between molecules in water that for the other compounds.

Water, H₂O, will have the highest melting point between the listed hydrides.

Is NO a polar molecule?
aleksklad [387]
<span>Electronegativity values are useful in determining if a bond is to be classified as nonpolar covalent, polar covalent or ionic. The electronegativities of oxygen and nitrogen are respectively, 3.44 and 3.04 on Pauling scale, the electronegativity difference being, 0.4. The bond is considered to be non-polar covalent.

What is the difference between extensive and intensive physical properties?
cestrela7 [59]
Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured.Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present.Physical properties<span> can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity.</span>

An oxybromate compound, kbrox, where x is unknown, is analyzed and found to contain 43.66 % br.
aniked [119]

Answer is: an oxybromate compound is KBrO₄ (x = 4).

ω(Br) = 43.66% ÷ 100%.

ω(Br) = 0.4366; mass percentage of bromine.

If we take 100 grams of compound:

m(Br) = ω(Br) · 100 g.

m(Br) = 0.4366 · 100 g.

m(Br) = 43.66 g; mass of bromine.

n(Br) = m(Br) ÷ M(Br).

n(Br) = 43.66 g ÷ 79.9 g/mol,

n(Br) = 0.55 mol; amoun of bromine.

From chemical formula (KBrOₓ), amount of potassium is equal to amount of bromine: n(Br) = n(K).

m(K) = 0.55 mol · 39.1 g/mol.

m(K) = 21.365 g; mass of potassium in the compound.

m(O) = 100 g - 21.365 g - 43.66 g.

m(O) =34.97 g; mass of oxygen.

n(O) = 34.97 g ÷ 16 g/mol.

n(O) = 2.185 mol.

n(K) : n(Br) : n(O) = 0.55 mol : 0.55 mol : 2.185 mol /÷ 0.55 mol.

n(K) : n(Br) : n(O) = 1 : 1 : 4.
