Answer:
Reaction: Al2(SO4)3 + 3BaCl2 --> 2AlCl3 + 3BaSO4
Type: Double Replacement
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) First you need to understand what the different reactions are
a.) Synthesis: is a reaction where two or more substances will combine with each other to make one product.
Ex: A + B → AB
b.) Decomposition: when one compound breaks down into two or more substances. (Opposite of synthesis)
Ex: AB → A + B
c.) Single Replacement: when one element replaces another one in a reaction
Ex: A + BC → AC + B
d.) Double Replacement: when the positively charged cations and negatively charged anions of the reactants trade places. Normally this will be the two outer elements combining and the two inner ones combining.
Ex: AB + CD → AD + CB
e.) Combustion: when a substance reacts with oxygen gas and releases energy as light and heat.
Ex: CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
2.) From there you can write out the formula of the different reactants and products and balance the equation.
