Question

Classify the following reaction: P4O10 + 6H2O 4H3PO4

Answer 1

synthesis reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction is a synthesis reaction. In a synthesis reaction or combination reaction two or more chemical substances react to generate a single product. Simple elements or compounds that bind to form a more complex compound. The general way to represent the reaction is:

A + B → C

Where A and B represent any chemical substance and C the resulting compound.

Answer 2

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.
