Question

Classify each of the following reaction as one of the 5 types: 2 Mg + O2 + 2 MgO O double replacement O decomposition O synthesis combustion O single replacement​

Answer 1

Synthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

This reaction above is a synthesis or combination reaction. In such reaction, several products combines to give a single product.

The formation of a single product from two or more reactants is classified under this type of reaction

The driving force for this reaction type is the large and negative heat of formation of the product.
