Classify each of these reactions. A single reaction may fit more than one classification. Ba ( ClO 3 ) 2 ⟶ BaCl 2 + 3 O 2 Ba(ClO

Lena [83]

Answer: a) $Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2$ : Decomposition

b) $NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2$ : double displacement

c) $CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$ : Synthesis (Combination)

d) $ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn$ : redox

Explanation:

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

$Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2$

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

$NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2$

Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

$CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$

Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place in one single reaction. The oxidation number of one element increases and the oxidation number of other element decreases.

$ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn$
