The reactions were classified respectively as Synthesis, Decomposition, Double-Replacement, Single-Displacement, and Combustion.
The student is tasked with matching each chemical equation to the correct type of chemical reaction. This involves understanding different reaction classifications.
- Synthesis: Two or more substances combine to make a more complex compound.
- Decomposition: A compound breaks down into simpler substances.
- Single-Displacement: One element replaces another in a compound.
- Double-Replacement: Ions in two compounds exchange places.
- Combustion: A compound, usually a hydrocarbon, reacts with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water.
With this understanding, let's classify the given equations:
- H2 + O2 → H2O is a Synthesis reaction (Option 1).
- HBr → H2 + Br2 is a Decomposition reaction (Option 2).
- HCl + NaOH → H2O + NaCl is a Double-Replacement reaction (Option 4).
- Al + H2SO4 → H2+ Al2(SO4)3 is a Single-Displacement reaction (Option 3).
- C2H6 + O2 → H2O + CO2 represents a Combustion reaction (Option 5).
Each equation is matched with its respective reaction type, helping the student learn the classifications.
