Answer:

a. Decomposition.

Explanation:

A combination reaction is a reaction where two or more elements or compounds combine to form a single compound. Such reactions may be represented by equations of the following form: X + Y ⇒ XY.

Decomposition reactions are a type of chemical reaction that involves breaking down a compound into smaller compounds or individual elements.
A single-displacement reaction, also known as a single-replacement reaction, is a reaction by which one element replaces other element in a compound.
A double displacement reaction, also known as a double replacement reaction or metathesis, is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds react, and the positive ions (action) and the negative ions (anion) of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds or products.

Hence, the answer is a decomposition reaction.

You are given a solution of sugar and sand and water your task is to separate sugar from sand which of the following experimenta

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Filtration followed by evaporation:

To separate the mixture of sand and sugar, it is best to use the separation technique of filtration then evaporation.

Pour the water into the mixture. The sugar will dissolve with time in the water. Sand is made up of quartz and does not dissolve in water.

After the dissolution, filter the solution to separate the sand using a filter paper.

Dry the sand thereafter then proceed to evaporate the sugar with water solution. Evaporation will turn water into vapor and the sugar crystals will be left behind.

What geometric shape is the carbon dioxide molecule? The Lewis structure for CO2 contains two double bonds.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer: Linear

Explaination: The central atom of a carbon dioxide molecule is carbon. Carbon is tetravalent which just means it has 4 valence electrons. Because the valence shell isn’t full, the carbon atom can bond with other atoms creating a total of 4 bonds. This then allows the carbon to double bond with 2 oxygen atoms. Now, the atoms in the CO2 molecule Don’t share the electrons evenly because of atomic number or proton count. Because oxygen has an atomic number of 6, carbon has an atomic number of 4, and opposites attract (referring to the positivity of the nucleus and the negativity of the shared electrons), the oxygen atoms will have a slightly negative charge (-) and the oxygen will have a slightly positive charge (+ ). Therefore, the slightly negative oxygen atoms repel creating that linear shape.
