Please identify reaction

Post by jacklarry »

From these choices please identify the reaction in the following eauations:
1. synthesis, 2. decomposition, 3. single replacement, 4. double replacement, 5. none of these.

1. MgCO3+2HCl=MgCl2+H2CO3
2. CH4+2O2=CO2+H2O
3. 2PbO2=2pb+O2
4.Ca2H2O=Ca(OH)2+H2
5. Zn+S+ZnS
6. BaCl2+Na2SO4=BaSO4+2NaCl
7. 2Al+fe2O3=Al2O3+Fe
8. Cl2H22Oll=12C+H2O
9. 2LiI+Pb(NO3)2=2LiNO3+PbI2
10. 2H2O+O2=2H2O2

Thank you

See if this helps you Recognize the reaction types

1. synthesis, A + B --> AB,
from simple to complex, 2 elements form a compound, or smaller compounds form a larger compound

2. decomposition, AB --> A + B
from complex to simple, a compound to 2 elements, or smaller compounds

3. single replacement, A + BX --> B + AX
a element replaces a less active ion (activity series) in a compound
producing the less active element and a new compound.
also, the "higher" halogen replaces the "lower" halogen in the compound
producing the lower halogen element

4. double replacement, AX + BY --> AY + BX, "double-date swap"

5. none of these. Leaves combustion, rxns with oxygen as a reactant.
like burning methane with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water


Try working it yourself ....
