Question

Which type of chemical reaction can be recognized by the general pattern given below:

A + BX --> AX + B?
A) Combustion
B) Synthesis
C) Decomposition
D) Single Replacement

Answer 1

The reaction A + BX → AX + B is a Single Replacement reaction, where one metal replaces another in a compound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of chemical reaction that can be recognized by the general pattern given below: A + BX → AX + B is a Single Replacement reaction. In a single replacement reaction, one element replaces another element in a compound. The element A in the general pattern is a metal and replaces element B, which is also a metal, in the compound BX to form the new compound AX and the element B is liberated. This type of reaction is also known as a single-displacement reaction and is characteristic of metals trading places with one another within compounds.
