Question

What type of chemical reaction does this equation represent?

2 Al + 3 FeO --> Al2O3 + 3 Fe
single replacement
O synthesis
combustion
O double replacement

Answer 1

Single Replacement

Step-by-step explanation:

Synthesis Reactions:

A + B → AB

Combustion Reactions:

CₓHₐ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Double Replacement Reactions:

AB + CD → AD + CB

Single Replacement Reactions:

A + BC → AB + C

Given RxN: 2Al + 3FeO → Al₂O₃ + 3Fe

• We are replacing one element, therefore it is a single replacement reaction
