Question

What type of reaction does each of the following equations represent?

NH4OH>NH3+H20

A. Single replacement
B. Decomposition
C. Double replacement

Answer 1

Given :

A chemical equation :

`NH_4OH -> NH_3 + H_2O`

To Find :

What is the type of reaction :

A. Single replacement

B. Decomposition

C. Double replacement

Solution :

We know when a single compound turns into two or more compounds or element, this type of reaction is said to be decomposition reaction.

In the given equation
`NH_4OH` decomposes into
`NH_ 3` and
`H_2O` .

Therefore, the given reaction is decomposition reaction.
