Question

Which type of chemical reaction occurs in Ca + Cl2 +CaCl2?

synthesis
combustion
single replacement
double replacement

Answer 1

almost positive that its synthesis

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is synthesis reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction in which two substances in their elemental state combine together to form a single molecule.

`A+B\rightarrow AB`

Combustion reaction is defined as the reaction in which hydrocarbon in the presence of oxygen decomposes to form carbon dioxide and water molecule.

`\text{Hydrocarbon }+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O`

Single replacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element replaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

`A+BX\rightarrow AX+B`

Double replacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

`AB+CD\rightarrow CB+AD`

For the reaction given:

`Ca(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow CaCl_2(s)`

This reaction is a type of synthesis reaction because calcium and chlorine reacts to form calcium chloride.
