Question

What type of reaction is the following?2 C10H22 +31 O2 (g) → 20 CO2 (g) + 22 H2O (l)-synthesis (or combination)decompositionsingle displacementdouble displacementO combustion

Answer 1

1) Chemical equation.

`2C_(10)H_(22)+31O_2\rightarrow20CO_2+22H_2O`

2) Types of reaction.

Synthesis: a compound is made from simpler materials.

Decomposition: a compound is broken down into simpler compounds.

Single replacement: one element that starts out by itself replaces another element in a compound.

Double replacement: positive and negative ions in two compounds switch places.

Combustion: a compound containing Carbon and Hydrogen combines with Oxygen gas and produces carbon dioxide and water.

3) The chemical reaction above is a combustion where C10H22 combines with O2.
