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 of the following is kept constant when using a bomb calorimeter?
trapecia [35]
Constant Volume Calorimetry, also know as bomb calorimetry, is used to measure the heat of a reaction while holding volume constant and resisting large amounts of pressure. Although these two aspects of bomb calorimetry make for accurate results, they also contribute to the difficulty of bomb calorimetry. In this module, the basic assembly of a bomb calorimeter will be addressed, as well as how bomb calorimetry relates to the heat of reaction and heat capacity and the calculations involved in regards to these two topics.

Introduction 

Calorimetry is used to measure quantities of heat, and can be used to determine the heat of a reaction through experiments. Usually a coffee-cup calorimeter is used since it is simpler than a bomb calorimeter, but to measure the heat evolved in a combustion reaction, constant volume or bomb calorimetry is ideal. A constant volume calorimeter is also more accurate than a coffee-cup calorimeter, but it is more difficult to use since it requires a well-built reaction container that is able to withstand large amounts of pressure changes that happen in many chemical reactions.

Most serious calorimetry carried out in research laboratories involves the determination of heats of combustion ΔHcombustion" role="presentation" style="display: inline-table; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 14.4px; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; word-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">ΔHcombustionΔHcombustion, since these are essential to the determination of standard enthalpies of formation of the thousands of new compounds that are prepared and characterized each month. In a constant volume calorimeter, the system is sealed or isolated from its surroundings, and this accounts for why its volume is fixed and there is no volume-pressure work done. A bomb calorimeter structure consists of the following:

Steel bomb which contains the reactantsWater bath in which the bomb is submergedThermometerA motorized stirrerWire for ignition

is usually called a “bomb”, and the technique is known as bomb calorimetry

Another consequence of the constant-volume condition is that the heat released corresponds to qv , and thus to the internal energy change ΔUrather than to ΔH. The enthalpy change is calculated according to the formula

Assuming equal concentrations and complete dissociation, rank these aqueous solutions by their freezing points. K2SO4 NH4I CoCl3
katrin [286]
The substance that releases the greatest amount of ions will have the greatest attractive forces within its solution, resulting in a reduced freezing point.
K₂SO₄ yields 3 ions
NH₄I yields 2 ions
CoCl₃ yields 4 ions

Freezing points:
CoCl₃ < K₂SO₄ < NH₄I

Please help.<br><br> Why does the temperature change when a powder is dissolved in water?
Schach [20]

Answer:

In order for the powder to dissolve, each powder molecule must separate from the other powder molecules and be surrounded by water molecules. This shift in arrangement either absorbs or releases energy depending on the situation. It is due to the exchange of energy that the temperature of the solution fluctuates.

What is an acid and what is a base
Mice21 [21]

Answer: The current common definition of an acid and a base is based upon how the substance releases or attracts hydrogen ions (H+). Acids release H+ ions that can turn neutral molecules into positively charged ions, while bases can attract H+ ions from neutral molecules to produce negatively charged ions.
