Question

Classify the following reaction: P4O10 + 6H2O 4H3PO4

Answer 1

Answer:- Synthesis.

Explanations:- Two species are reacting to make a newer one and so it is an example of a synthesis reaction.

If an equation is of the type, $A+B\rightarrow AB$ then it is called synthesis reaction.

The given reaction in the question is, $P_4O_1_0+6H_2O\rightarrow 4H_3PO_4$

The above reaction looks exactly similar to the general equation we have written in the starting.  $P_4O_1_0$ and water are reacting to form phosphoric acid and so it is a synthesis reaction.
